Turtle pendant

The artefact

The sea turtle is depicted with sensitive descriptive synthesis and technical virtuosity in the two pendants of original and distinctive aesthetic value. Crafted with experimental technique that reinterprets the filigree of the local goldsmith tradition in new forms, the pendants are individually handcrafted in two versions: entirely in gold with precious stones and in a combination of gold and burnished silver.
