The 24-karat Golden Gladiator is deeply inspired by historical elements dating back thousands of years to ancient Egypt, where the encaustic technique has its roots and 24-karat gold was an integral part of the culture and held spiritual meaning as a symbol of wealth, success, and status. Rare gold is integrated into the encaustic technique through a process developed over 5 years of discovery, which involved 400 hours of creation, 80 g of pure 24-karat gold, and a custom gold-plated frame. The Gavrieli 24-Karat Gold Collection is reserved for a single collector or institution to carry the legacy.
