This extraordinary antique 9ct gold seal pendant is a striking example of craftsmanship and history. The base of the pendant features a beautifully detailed bloodstone intaglio depicting an arm rising from the ground in armor, holding a helmet pierced by two arrows. Beside the arm stands a regal falcon, symbolizing strength and nobility. At the bottom of the intaglio is the Latin motto "BASIS VIRTUTUM CONSTANTIA," meaning "STEADINESS IS THE FOUNDATION OF VIRTUES," adding a layer of significance and meaning to the piece.
The 9ct gold setting is both elegant and decorative, enhancing the intricate design of the intaglio while giving the pendant a timeless appeal.
