EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable gold talisman of Charlemagne, a relic from the late 8th-9th century. The talisman takes the form of an ampulla, serving as a reliquary that purportedly houses fragments of the True Cross. Through the large and exquisite gems adorning its front and back, one can catch a glimpse of these sacred remnants. Charlemagne himself was not only King of the Franks from 768 to 814 but also held the prestigious title of Emperor of the West from 800 to 814. This pendant serves as a powerful symbol representing his reign and influence during this significant period in history. Crafted with meticulous detail, this jewel is steeped in mysticism and medieval allure. Its green crystal adds an enchanting touch, enhancing its aura as it hangs delicately on a necklace. As part of The Granger Collection's Carousel collection curated by Bradley Smith, this artifact offers us an extraordinary window into Charlemagne's world. The talisman holds immense historical value as it embodies both religious significance and royal power within its intricate design. It stands testament to Charlemagne's legacy as well as his connection to French history and Frankish culture.
