The politically astute Queen Semiramis is responsible for uniting the two countries of Babylon and Assyria to create one of the most fascinating empires of the ancient world. Semiramis, as a lover of the fine arts and patron of Nabu, the tutelary deity of the scribes, ordered the building of several places and monuments. It was under her rule that the gigantic Gate of Ishtar and the legendary and the second wonder of the world – the Hanging Gardens of Babylon – were created.
Every detail of the Patron of Art Edition Semiramis is given the same care that the great master craftsman of ancient Babylon were famous for. The barrel of Edition 4810, made of black precious resin, is surrounded by delicate gold-plated fretwork. On Edition 888 this fretwork is made of 750 solid gold, emphasized by exquisite inlays of red enamel lacquer. An inlay of the heraldic animal of Ishtar decorates the elegant, elaborately embellished clip, which in Edition 888 is finished off by an approximately 0,2-carat diamond. With its delicate engraving, the 18-carat gold nib recalls the great era of Semiramis.
