Ram’s head pendant in sterling silver.
In Greek mythology, the Golden Fleece (Greek: χρυσόμαλλον δέρας) is the fleece of the golden-woolled,winged ram, which was held in Colchis. The fleece is a symbol of authority and kingship. It figures in the tale of the hero Jason and his crew of Argonauts, who set out on a quest for the fleece by order of King Pelias, in order to place Jason rightfully on the throne of Iolcus in Thessaly. Through the help of Medea, they acquire the Golden Fleece. The story is of great antiquity and was current in the time of Homer (eighth century BC). The ram was symbol of virility and fertility, power and leadership.
