Pangolin London worked with Damien Hirst to design a piece of jewellery for a special exhibition of Sculptors’ Jewellery in 2014. Hirst's 'Medusa' brooch references the well-known monster of Greek mythology, beheaded by Perseus. The larger sculpture, 'The Severed Head of Medusa', 2013, in gold and silver, was on display at the Ashmolean Museum until earlier this year. Medusa is part of a large-scale, complex project titled 'Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable' that Hirst worked on for almost ten years and first presented in two simultaneous exhibitions in Venice in 2017. The exhibitions told the story of the ancient wreck of a vast ship named Apistos (Greek for ‘Unbelievable’) and of its treasures discovered in the ocean. It raised questions about art history and fiction, originality and reproduction, and the contemporary art market.
