This pendant is made using sand casting, a time-honored technique where molten brass is carefully poured into a sand mold shaped with the Spartan lambda, the iconic chevron symbol worn by their warriors. The brass is given an antiqued finish, lending it a weathered look that calls to mind the worn armor and weapons forged for battle in ancient Sparta. Measuring about 1-1⁄4″ across, it is suspended from a simple leather thong,materials that reflect the practical, no-nonsense approach of Greek craftsmen who valued durability and function above all.

Fun fact: The lambda symbol represented “Lacedaemon,” the homeland of the Spartans, and was boldly painted on their shields to unite the warriors and strike fear into their foes on the battlefield.
