Description
The Winged Seahorse (Hippokampos) Brooch was part of the 7th century BC Lydian Hoard which is known in Turkey as the Karun Hazinesi / Croesus Treasure. 

The body of Hippokampos is a sea creature depicted with or without wings, consisting of half of the horse and half of a fish. There is no unique birth legend in Greek mythology. He serves Poseidon along with other sea creatures. The creature, which has a body of horse and fishtail in origin, is not found in eastern arts. However, creatures consisting of fish human fusion are figures placed in the art of Mesopotamia to create protective magic as a statue or relief at the entrances of temples and palaces in the New Assyrian and New Babylonian Period.

Jewellery Care Instructions

Each Efek jewellery is unique and handcrafted with traditional jewellery techniques of Grand Bazaar of Istanbul.

As each piece is hand crafted, slight variations are to be expected and make our designs unique.

Please be gentle with your EFEK jewellery and do not apply lotions and perfume while wearing your gold plated pieces. Please also avoid water when wearing gold plated jewellery.

Gold has a tendency to scratch, so extra care should be taken when wearing and cleaning to maintain quality and appearance.

Sterling silver (not gold plated) requires less care, so we encourage you to wear your silver jewellery daily.

I hope my creations bring you luck.
