The triangle has had mystical significance since ancient times. It was the link to Pythagoreanism for the Greeks with multiple interpretations from numerology to astrology and the seasons. The Romans embraced the from but abandoned the specifics in favor of a general interpretation. Here, the base and apex retain the "points" of the Tetractys separated by a broad field flanked by transverse bands. In general, it symbolized the fundamentals, fire, air, water, earth, as it did for the Greeks. Those elements comprised the cosmos and their control meant peace and harmony. Silvered bronze, this example is just over 1 1/8" in height with a radial splay of five punched lines over a baseline matching. It is professionally refurbished with the silver overlay restored on a Sterling silver neck chain. Gift boxed with certificate of authenticity.
