The bull is sacred and revered in many cultures. In Cyprus, archeologists have uncovered bull masks from real skulls worn in rites. Corresponding bull-masked terra cotta figurines show them in use. Neolithic bull horns sometimes decorated stone altars. And bull jewelry such as this Cypriot artifact from the Met Museum adorned the ancients.
Reproduction of a magnificent Cypriot gold pendant, a bullhead is decorated with tiny graduated spheres. The design dates to approximately 1400 BC. The pendant measures 1.25" tall, 1.25" wide, and 0.25" deep.
Made to order. Please allow 2-3 weeks for perfection. Chain not included.

Manifesting History
My process starts with curating museum collections to find interesting pieces of jewelry and art to recreate.
I digitalize original pieces into exact 3d models. My careful replicas are then 3d printed in wax.
One Ring at a Time
I use lost wax casting in order to fabricate a ring in metal. It's a technique with a history dating back at least 6500 years. All items are cast in precious metal, stamped and hand-finished here in the USA.
Brass and silver pieces are usually stocked and ship in 1-3 days.
Gold jewelry is usually cast to order and ships in 2-3 weeks.
