Silver Nemean Lion pendant

Greek handmade Nemean Lion pendant, crafted in Silver 925 Platinum-plated,

THE LEON NEMEIOS (Nemean Lion) was a large lion whose hide was impervious to weapons,. It plagued the district of Nemea in the Argolis. King Eurystheus commanded Herakles (Heracles) to destroy the beast as the first of his twelve Labours. The hero cornered the lion in its cave and seizing it by the neck wrestled it to death.

All of our Silver jewellery carry the metal (925) and the Greek Workshop's stamps.
