Emily Weld Collins Akragas Talisman Charm
PENDANT ONLY
A symbol of resilience with a design inspired by a coin with its roots in Ancient Akragas, this talisman depicts Akragas' emblematic crab with open claws, a symbol of the city's strength as a sea power and a Scylla swimming below. Scylla was a sea monster of Greek mythology described as having six heads with deadly, sharp teeth and was said to bark like a dog, with her loins girdled by the heads of dogs. This sea creature was one of the many hazards thought to haunt sailors on their journey to the city.
This coin symbolizes resilience. Crafted out of lustrous 18k yellow gold, it features hand-cut rubellite tourmaline set into the body of the Akragas Crab.
