Handmade Theseus pendant, perfect for fans of Percy Jackson. This cameo represents Theseus. On the helmet is a great detailed relief scene of Theseus defeating the Centaur. Theseus was the founder-king of Athens, son of Aegeus & Poseidon, both of whom Aethra had slept with in one night. Theseus was a founder-hero, like Perseus, Cadmus, or Heracles, all of whom battled & overcame foes that were identified with an archaic religious & social order. As Heracles was the Dorian hero, Theseus was the Athenian founding hero. At the beginning of the 1800s a single hand carved semi precious gem Intaglio or Cameo was an extremely rare & treasured possession. ... It also allowed for production carving, which was faster, more formulaic. The end result was a cameo that was both affordable & beautiful. - Handmade cameo pendant. - Solid yellow bronze also called jeweler gold bronze pendant - Reproduction of a 17th c.
