About the Item

This remarkable 22k yellow gold pendant is a masterful example of Byzantine-style craftsmanship, blending intricate detail with mythological symbolism. The focal point of the piece is a regal winged goat, meticulously rendered with textured wings and ornate detailing, embodying both strength and transcendence. Beneath the goat, an oval-shaped carnelian gemstone, engraved with Arabic calligraphy, adds a rich cultural and spiritual element to the design. Three dangling granulated gold beads enhance the pendant’s movement and elegance, while the reverse side features a beautifully engraved starburst motif, reflecting the attention to detail and artistry present throughout. Weighing an impressive 34.3 grams and measuring 3.3 cm wide, this versatile piece can be worn as either a pendant or a brooch, offering flexibility for various styling preferences. The chain is not included, allowing the wearer to pair it with their preferred style. This pendant is a stunning fusion of historical inspiration and contemporary wearability, making it an exceptional addition to any fine jewelry collection. The Symbolism of the Winged Goat: The winged goat is a fascinating mythological figure, combining the grounded qualities of the goat—resilience, determination, and strength—with the celestial symbolism of wings, representing freedom, transcendence, and divine connection. In Byzantine art, such hybrid creatures often symbolized protection and the blending of earthly and spiritual realms. The use of the winged goat motif in this pendant reflects the influence of ancient cultural syncretism, where Byzantine, Greco-Roman, and Middle Eastern traditions intersected. It may also resonate with Persian or Islamic mythology, where winged creatures, such as the Buraq, often symbolise the connection between heaven and earth. This unique figure adds layers of meaning and artistry, making this piece not just a jewel but also a cultural and symbolic treasure.
