Sterling Silver Reproduction Pendant of the Disc of Festos/Phaistos (#252/K) circa 1850 BC - 1500 BC     The disc of Festos is classified by many as one of the most mysterious objects of all time. The original artifact is a stone carving that can be seen in the Heraklion museum in Crete. It's size fits into a palm of a large male hand, it has captivated the mind and imagination of an unprecedented amount of researchers and remains an unsolved mystery. The disc is considered particularly important as it was one of the very few valuable objects found in the very heart of the mighty Minoan civilsation from just before it's overnight destruction from a tidal wave (linked to the loss of Atlantis). When the palace was excavated, in crypt beneath the floor of  Royal chamber of the palace of Festos was this disc, hidden from the public domain. Some of the characters or 'glyphs' have been compared to Linear A and some resemble Egyptian hieroglyphs but apart from this resemblence the origin of the language is uncertain and incomparible to other known scripts. Over the twentieth century there has been an endless list of archaeologists, linguists, anthropologists and even astronomers all of which have provided their own theorems for the disc's interpretation or intended function.

Other theories link this artifact and language to the lost city of Atlantis.   Large Wise Owl pendant (Item #263) The owl of Wisdom   The illuminating and yet detached glare of Athena's owl, a sacred symbol in ancient Greece has been magnificently captured and portrayed by our skilled craftsmen, specialized and distinguished in crafting reproductions representations of significant ancient, historical and religious artifacts and themes. The significance of the owl was the virtue of Wisdom. It was usually depicted accompanying Goddess Athena (Roman Minerva), the all important virgin Goddess to whom perhaps the most significant shrine of classical antiquity, the Parthenon, was built in honor of. Her worship peaked during the golden age of Pericles 461 BC to 379 BC. It was during this inspiring age of wisdom that philosophy, architecture, medicine, theatre and the arts were first established as  fabric to society to set grounds to an array of social fundaments as they are today, whilst the radical concept of 'democracy' was also first fostered.    The all knowing, never sleeping wise owl, inspired this progress and thereon became th
