Description
Byzantine Monogram Pendant in 925 Sterling Silver The pendant depicts a Byzantine monogram of unknown exact meaning. A monogram is a design composed of one or more letters, typically the initials of a name, making a single character used as an identifying mark. They first appeared on coins, as early as 350 BC. The earliest known examples are of the names of Greek cities that issued the coins, often the first two letters of the city's name. Ancient rulers, magistrates, moneyers, & even die engravers would sometimes include their monograms on coins. A ligature, which is two or more letters connected by a stroke, is a type of monogram but monograms with letters more completely united are not ligatures. This pendant is handcrafted in Greece with extra care in 925 Sterling Silver. Its height size is 17mm & weighs approximately 4 g. This pendant is without the chain.
