Item Details
Description
Circular, just under 5/8" diameter with central hole and six pierced scallops forming the edge. Probably Italian as the circle cluster interpretation is likely linked to the Medici and Florence. The concept of the Rota Fortunae, the Wheel of Fortune, dates back millennia with the Roman goddess Fortuna capriciously deciding the fate of men with a spin of her wheel, often sweeping them up to unprecedented new wealth and prosperity. It has proven to be an enduring symbol and concept even through the Christianization of Rome and into the Middle Ages as evidenced by the highly influential works of the late Roman philosopher and statesman Boethius. A fine ancient piece deeply imbued with historical meaning. Professionally refurbished with the pure silver overlay restored on an 18” sterling silver neck chain for contemporary wear. Jewelry gift boxed with a certification of authenticity. Purchases of one or more ancient jewelry lots (that have $13 flat shipping prices) will only cost $13 in total combined shipping. •Celtic Roman Viking Medieval Norse Scandinavian ancient ring bracelet necklace
