A royal command in ancient handwriting.
The source:
This pendant is engraved with what is believed to be the only surviving sample of Cleopatra's handwriting in existence.
The signature appears on Papyrus Bingen 45, held in the Neues Museum in Berlin. Dated to February 23, 33 BC, it’s a royal decree granting tax exemption to Publius Canidius. The decree was written by a court scribe. At the bottom, in a different hand, is a single Greek word: γινέσθωι. Ginesthoi. So be it. Make it happen.
Historians believe this word — and only this word— is Cleopatra's own handwriting. One word. Absolute authority. Engraved on this pendant exactly as it appears on the document.
The piece:
The story without the stone. As part of our Marginalia line, this piece makes Cunningfolk’s trademark historical rigour more accessible than ever — just without the bells and whisltes.
Materials:
15mm sterling silver disc
Engraved with Cleopatra’s handwriting
In stock — dispatched within 2–3 working days
Handmade in London
Price: £55
