For sale is a 14k yellow gold pendant with a cabochon amethyst. The pendant is a small double-bladed axe called a labrys. This type of axe is a symbol of transformation and rebirth, particularly for women. This pendant is beautifully crafted from gold with the rich deep color normally seen in higher carat gold. The axe is set with a glowing rich purple amethyst cabochon. The amethyst is round, and is bezel set. (The pendant has no gemstone on the reverse side.) The pendant has a built-in bail to accommodate your chain. This is a beautifully crafted, small pendant with glowing color and rich symbolism.
Labrys is asymmetric double-headed ritual axe that is one of the holiest Cretan religious symbols. It is also known as Labyris, Sagarus, and Halbryce.
The closest association of the Labrys is with the ancient Minoan civilization where it was used as a symbol of the Mother Goddess and was representative of authority. It was also seen as symbolic of a butterfly, signifying transformation and rebirth. This double axe was depicted mostly in the hands of women and came to be connected with the male gods long after the decline of Minoan civilization. In Greek mythology, the Labrys (also called Pelekys) appears as an ancient symbol linked with the Thunder God, Zeus who used the axe to invoke storms.
The item shows normal wear for a pre-owned piece (light scratches, dings, dents and scuff marks.)
***Please note: The chain is not included in this sale.
