A vintage solid 9ct yellow gold Trojan Horse charm that opens to show the enamelled soldiers inside, waiting to jump out on the unsuspecting city of Troy.  
 
In Greek mythology, the legend has it that the wooden horse was built at the behest of Odysseus, and the story is mentioned in Homer’s ‘Odyssey’ and Virgil’s ‘Aeneid’. The Greek soldiers inside waited until the city slept, then crept out to wreak havoc.
 
Our version is a very nicely modelled charm, with secure closure.
Fully hallmarked for London 1957 and in excellent condition.  
Comes with a jump ring ready to attach to your bracelet.
