5534 - ROMEO tartaruga charm

Turtle-shaped pendant

 in 925 silver handmade in wax and cast using the lost wax method. The turtle features a bas-relief of the ancient symbol of the tripod of Kroton on its body.

Made in our laboratory in Crotone, the city of Pythagoras. 

The tripod, in memory of this tradition linked to the divination of the priestess of Apollo, persisted over time, so much so that the Delphic tripod, engraved on the coins minted in Kroton, remained the emblem of the city until Roman times.
