Description from the seller

Bronze Punic coin necklace – Goddess Tanit and horse head – 3rd century BC.

Carthage. Punic civilization. 3rd century BC (300–200 BC)

Original necklace of historical inspiration made with an ancient bronze coin of Punic typology, belonging to the cultural and commercial sphere of Carthage during the 3rd century BC.

The coin presents an interesting iconography related to the beliefs and symbols of the Carthaginian world:

* Obverse: depiction of a female bust associated with Tanit, one of the main deities of Carthaginian civilization.
* Reverse: depiction of a horse head, emblematic symbol of Carthage, closely linked to its identity and monetary tradition.

The piece retains an attractive antique patina in green and dark tones, with interesting reliefs that reflect its antiquity and historical character.

The coin has been adapted as a pendant by means of a metal ring and is presented suspended from an elegant black cord, creating a unique jewel that combines history, archaeology and contemporary design.

Features:

* Culture: Punic or Carthaginian.
* Dating: 3rd century BC.
* Coin material: bronze.
* Diameter: 23 mm.
* Thickness: 3 mm.
* Necklace length: 50 cm.
* Assembly: black cord with metal ring.
* Conservation: antique patina, wear and reliefs characteristic of its historical circulation.

A jewel with more than 2,200 years of history, which brings together the appeal of ancient numismatics with the elegance of an exclusive jewelry piece. Ideal for both collectors and lovers of Mediterranean civilizations.
