About the Item
A standing owl with wings outstretched is struck upon an authentic 4th century silver "siglos" coin from the Greek colony of Amisos in the Pontos region, which existed on the shores of the Black Sea near the modern town of Samsun in Northern Turkey. The opposite side of the coin depicts Hera, the Greek goddess of women and marriage, and the wife of Zeus. The owl was a symbol of Athena, virgin goddess of wisdom. This coin is set in a Steven Battelle designed matte-finish handmade 18K gold setting decorated with three 2.0 mm VS1 diamonds set at the cardinal directions with 2 small "jawan" granulation at the sides of each. The bail has a smaller 1.8 mm diamond. This high-grade ancient coin has a particullalry sharp and distinct owl image. The 18", 20" or 24" medium-weight handmade hammered 18K gold chain shown is not included with the pendant, but can be added. Please inquire if you want a chain also. We discount our chains 20% when purchased with a pendant. This pendant comes with a lifetime laminated coin certificate of authenticity. This is a really nice one!

Steven Battelle
After a chance trip to SouthEast Asia in 1987, Steven Battelle became fascinated with the jewelry and iconology from the ancient cultures of Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece, and Asia. Eventually forming a partnership with a dedicated group of Balinese village goldsmiths using painstaking handmade techniques, they together create unique designs that incorporate those timeless and classic motifs. He incorporates primarily cabochon gemstones as well as ancient Greek and Roman coins, each piece capturing the feelings of a bygone age. If you wish to create your own special piece, similar to a style we make, please let us know, and we'll see what we can do.
