The Shield of Achilles returns here as a monumental story built through detail.
The motif known from the Homer’s Iliad presents a complete vision of the world: from the cosmos, through peace and war, to labour, harvest, vineyards and nature, all enclosed by Oceanus. The convex shape recalls the form of a real shield, while the ultra-high relief gives remarkable depth and sculptural presence to the whole composition.
 
24-karat gold plating and patination highlight the monumental character of this collector issue, complemented by a jewellery insert.
