The Sentinel

A Roman carnelian intaglio of an animal transformed into a sculptural 750 gold choker.

At the centre of The Sentinel sits an original Roman carnelian intaglio, depicting an animal. Set within a chunky 750 gold choker, the carved gemstone remains untouched, exactly as history left it, with the ancient engraving remaining the focal point.

What emerges is an object that illuminates the timeless relationship between humans and their beast counterparts.
