Object Description

An Ancient Greek, Cypriot gold pendant featuring two finely modelled beads. The top bead is slightly rounded, bicone in shape and perforated horizontally for suspension. To the bottom of the bead there is a small suspension loop, through which a looped gold wire is attached, along with the second bead. The bottom bead is modelled in the shape of a pomegranate. Three delicate petals decorate the bottom, sloping into a globular body. A loop has been added to the top of the pomegranate for suspension, connecting it to the gold wire. This pendant would have likely been part of a larger item, like a necklace.

Date: Circa 1st Millennium BC

Object History

From a late Japanese specialist collector, 1970-2000s.

Object Condition

Good condition. There are minor dents and a few very small piercing to the pomegranate bead consistent with age.
