Minoan Octopus from a "Marine Style" Vase Pendant

Shake things up with a bold statement piece that wriggles with excitement! This stunning octopus pendant mesmerizes with its swirling tentacles and elegant design. One of the most distinctive types of painted pottery from Minoan Crete is the "Marine Style" series, which typically features fabulously-tentacled octopi whose dynamic, wiggling extremities wrap around the vase surface in a beautifully rhythmic and balanced though asymmetrical way. The pottery example that inspired this particular pendant dates to c. 1500 BC. Don't miss out on adding this truly unique and eye-catching pendant to your collection! 

Our pendant may also be purchased along with one of our 20" Italian gold or silver chains, available here.
