The Pectoral in the Mirror of Time
From the Egyptian Pharaohs to the Work of Jiří Frič
In ancient times, the pectoral was not only an ornamental piece of jewelry, but above all a symbol of protection — guarding the wearer’s chest, soul, and body while bearing motifs of power, spirituality, and balance.
From the golden pectorals of Egypt around 1800 BCE to the iconic adornments of Pharaoh Tutankhamun in the 13th century BCE, the pectoral represented both spiritual protection and prestige.
In his artistic practice, Jiří Frič has long been drawn to symbols of femininity and reverence for tradition.
The Pectoral, introduced in 2025, transforms this ancient inspiration into a minimalist stainless-steel sculpture.
Through this material, Frič emphasizes permanence, purity, and the modern aesthetic that defines his work.
Frič’s interpretation of the pectoral connects archetypal forms with meticulous craftsmanship — hallmarks of his artistic signature.
This exclusive sculpture stands not only as a contemporary work of art, but also as a collectible piece that continues the tradition of Jiří Frič’s sculptures represented in galleries and private collections alike.
