➜ This elegant pendant is a high-quality contemporary tribute to the glyptic arts of the Sassanian Empire. The central intaglio is carved into a vibrant turquoise-blue stone, characteristic of the semi-precious materials favored by ancient Persian nobility. The pendant features the Zebu, or humped bull, a sacred animal in the Zoroastrian tradition. In Sassanian iconography, the bull represented the "Soul of the World" (Gueush Urvan) and was a potent symbol of fertility, strength, and the earth. The Zebu: Depicted with a prominent hump and stylized anatomy, typical of the linear "cut-style" carving found on original Sassanian seals. Celestial Elements: The bull is accompanied by a six-pointed star and several spherical globules, representing the sun, moon, or planets. This suggests a zodiacal or astrological significance, a common theme in Sassanian talismans. The Mount: A simple, circular metal frame with a textured, ribbed suspension loop, designed to emulate the weight and feel of ancient jewelry. ➜ Height: 3.3 cm ➜ Width: 3 cm ➜ Weight: 8 gram ➜ Object: Sassanian Pendant ➜ Material: Green Agate ➜ Origin: Mesopotamian
