The Paestum Diver Pendant, made in 925 Silver, is a tribute to the art and history of Magna Graecia. This pendant, in fact, takes inspiration from the fresco from 480-470 BC, now preserved in the Archaeological Museum of Paestum. 

This pendant is characterized by its thin and light lines. The surface is shiny and the details are precisely made. It is a perfect accessory for those who love wearing unique and meaningful pieces.

Historical Curiosities

The fresco from which this pendant takes inspiration decorated the tomb of the Diver. It is an artefact of the funeral art of Magna Graecia of significant historical-artistic value, the only testimony of painting Greek figurative and non-vascular. The image of the diver forms the internal decoration of the tomb's covering slab. The man in the act of diving into a stream probably represents the metaphor of the passage from life to death, a symbol of the journey to the afterlife.

The fresco is unique in Greek painting for its realistic and symbolic representation of the human figure in movement.
