As the wife of King Philip II of Macedonia and mother to the legendary Alexander the Great, Olympias holds immense historical significance. The intricate craftsmanship of this piece is evident in its fine goldsmithery. The veiled woman portrayed on this medallion is believed to be none other than Olympias herself. Her regal presence emanates from every detail captured on this rectangular artifact. The image reveals her standing gracefully with a musical instrument nearby, symbolizing her appreciation for art and culture. Intriguingly, there are references to ancient mythology present as well - an angelic figure hovers above while a warrior lies at her feet. These elements hint at both divine protection and military prowess associated with Olympias' lineage.
