AFW - Antique France Worldwide
Description
This talisman pendant has a round shape typical of religious or esoteric medals. On the visible side, there is a central engraving surrounded by a circular inscription. The legible text reads: "DRION SARAO ANAPHETA DIONOYA", with stylized characters and the word "HELA" in the center. The whole evokes protection or good luck talismans, with an antique look enhanced by the visible patina on the surface.
The pendant is accompanied by a smaller, more discreet circular medal, engraved with the letters "TY". Both elements are mounted on a metal ring, connected to a rounded bail, allowing for easy wearing on a chain or cord. The overall appearance is matte, with traces of oxidation and homogeneous wear, characteristic of worn or old jewelry.
The visible side of the pendant reveals a dark gray finish with an aged effect, accentuating the vintage and authentic character of the object. The engraving remains clear despite wear, highlighting the quality of manufacturing. No major chips or missing parts are visible on this side, only surface wear consistent with regular use.
This talisman stands out for its iconography and style reminiscent of protection medals or ritual objects, highly sought after for their symbolism. The ensemble presents a sober and timeless aesthetic, suitable for both daily use and display in a decorative or spiritual context.
The pendant is photographed on a yellow velvet background, which highlights its metallic nuances and engraved relief. No other accessories or chain elements are visible in the image.
