It's about the most iconic piece of art in existence, I'm sure it would sell for over a billion dollars if ever auctioned. I'm more a fan of the Pylos Combat Agate myself, a 1.4 inch Minoan sealstone made around 3,500 years ago during the bronze age. Considering how small it is and the difficulty of working agate/quartz generally let alone with bronze age tech, coupled with the aesthetic sophistication not seen in Greece for another thousand years it's the most stunning, dynamic and remarkable piece I've ever seen.
