What does Golden Ibex stand for?

The name derives from the Golden Ibex figurine that was discovered in 1999 CE in the ancient city of Akrotiri and now can be seen at the Museum of Prehistoric Thira, Fira.

It was originally placed inside a wooden box within a clay chest and was made using the lost-wax technique.

The legs, neck and tail were soldered on and finishing touches were added using a small hammer, indentations from which remain visible. It’s our love for Santorini island that made us choose the Golden Ibex name as a tribute to the archaeological treasures of Thira.

WE ARE THE TALK OF THE WORLD

We are only sorry that our six hours went by so quickly!
