A medieval miner from Kutná Hora (Kuttenberg), Bohemia. The inspiration for this unique pendant came from the discovery of a miner's seal from Kutná Hora, likely used as a seal for securing coins or silver ore during transport.
It makes a great gift for geologists, mining historians, or anyone interested in natural or historical sciences. Fans of the epic historical video game Kingdom Come: Deliverance II —set largely in Kuttenberg - will also appreciate this piece. The model was handcrafted from wax.

Kutná Hora ranks among the most historically significant cities in the Czech Republic, primarily due to silver mining, which reached its peak in the Middle Ages. A rich silver deposit was discovered in the 13th century, contributing to the development of the town and its importance within the Kingdom of Bohemia. Silver mining from Kutná Hora supplied European markets and financed royal projects, including construction initiatives by Charles IV and Vladislaus II.
In the 15th century, during the height of the Middle Ages and the Hussite Wars, the city held a key strategic and economic role. The royal mint here produced the renowned Prague groschen, securing prosperity and political significance for the town. The history of Kutná Hora thus offers insight into the political and cultural conflicts of medieval Europe, which shaped the destiny of the entire region.
