RARE Poseidon Mythological Figural stickpin

Unavailable

What a rare treat to see this stickpin with all its mythological background come out of our collection for sale! Poseidon was relied upon by sailors for a safe voyage on the sea. Many men drowned horses in sacrifice of his honor. He lived on the ocean floor in a palace made of coral and gems, and drove a chariot pulled by horses. However, Poseidon was a very moody divinity, and his temperament could sometimes result in violence. When he was in a good mood, Poseidon created new lands in the water and a calm sea. In contrast, when he was in a bad mood, Poseidon would strike the ground with a trident and cause unruly springs and earthquakes, ship wrecks, and drownings.l This pin is 2 1/4” long and the pin itself is either gold or gold filled. The head of the pin is original to this pin and has a great amount of detail to it! In great shape this is quite the collectible piece!
