This bull pendant is from around 400 BCE. I think I remember seeing it in the Athens Museum but I can’t be sure. You’d need to spend days there to see it all and appreciate it.

That's cool.

I wonder is it Minoan? I remember seeing a lot of bull murals way back in '67 when I got to go to Crete and explore the Palace of Knossos, home of the dreaded Minotaur. Wonderful memories!
Ah, here we go ...
Update ... well, I answered my own question ... the Minoan civilization is much older.
Kind regards,

That pendant would make a hell of a door knocker.
Way too small for a door knocker. Also, it would be quickly stolen since it's gold.

Looks Greek, not Minoan.
