Object Description
A finely modelled Ancient Greek gold pendant with glass and carnelian beads. Its centre features a circular blue glass bead with a white stripe across the middle, affixed between two orange pieces of glass which are almost fully encased by conical caps formed from thin sheets of gold. Vertical rows of fine granulation further enrich the top cap. Dangling from the bottom is an ovoid carnelian bead with a delicate gold, granulated bead. A loop has been attached to the top for suspension.
