"The Dragon And The Templar Cross. An Extremely Rare Medallion Carved In Carnelian."

The Dragon and the Templar Cross. An extremely rare medallion carved in Carnelian, with the esoteric depiction of the Dragon, symbol of power, which kills all who encounter it.

The carving on the extremely hard Carnelian displays remarkable elegance and sculptural mastery. Sicily, 12th-13th century. Diameter 5 cm, height 2 cm. To be published in the text 'The Templars in Sicily'.
