Ancient Thessaly Coin

Dated 420-400 BC, this rare ancient coin from Thessaly depicts Thessalos wrestling a bull, proving human physical strength and the mastery over wild nature, celebrating the physical prowess of the elite cavalrymen of Ancient Greece. The back shows the horse, representing the ultimate beautiful result of that mastery-- a perfectly bred, noble animal. The two sides of the coin work together to tell a complete story of Thessalian identity.

Organically set in textured 14k yellow gold, this double sided treasure has a single diamond set on each side. One of a kind. Chain sold separately. Pendant measures approximately 1 inch.
