The bull's horns and the cult mystery of the Roman underworld prominent among the military classes and practiced in subterranean temples, centred around the god overpowering and slaying a bull, known as the tauroctony. The moon goddess, Luna, was the sole female permitted at a Mithraic ceremony, where the crescent moon was her symbol.

A 2" long pewter antiqued horns pendant, in the shape of a crescent moon, with a bronzed mount at its centre.

On a 21" (54cm) black curb chain.
