Apollo's Lyre - Musical Instrument invented buying by Hermes and given to Apollo as a gift - Ancient Greece - Brooch Pin - 925 Sterling Silver

Apollo's Lyre is a musical instrument invented by buying Hermes and given to Apollo as a gift.
In Greek Mythology, when Hermes was a baby he stole a number of Apollo's cattle and took them to a cave in the woods near Pylos. In the cave, he found a tortoise and killed it, then removed the insides. He used one of the cow's intestines and the tortoise shell and made the first lyre.
Apollo eventually found Hermes, but fell in love with the sound the lyre made. Apollo gifted the cattle to Hermes in exchange for the lyre and forgave Hermes for stealing his cattle. The lyre then became one of Apollo's symbols of power.
The brooch is crafted with extra care in 925 Sterling Silver. It was made in Greece, height is 40mm, width is 31mm and weighs approximately 12 g. (600)
