Hand carved Mycenaean Minoan Riding goddess necklace.
Replica of the Mycenaean Riding Goddess seal from the 13th c. BC (Greece bronze age). The goddess is wearing the traditional Mycenaean dress while riding a hybrid beast over the waves of the sea. The beast has the muscular body of a lion and the head of a wild horse. The scene is very similar to the Europa and the Bull Greek myth.

Bronze has been valued since antiquity for its strength and warm, golden tone. Over time, it naturally oxidizes—much like silver—creating a rich patina that adds depth and character. Its original luster can be easily restored with a jeweler’s polishing cloth as needed.
