Object Description

A Western Asiatic gold pendant with an oblong agate drop. The agate is banded with cream and dark brown tones. The semi-precious stone has been perforated at its base, suggesting that it perhaps featured a stopper bead to further secure the agate in place. A gold sheet pellet sits above the agate and is attached to a gold, hollow, spherical shape. An applied loop has been attached to the top for suspension, allowing for this pendant to be hung on a chain.

Date: Circa 1st Millennium BC

Object History

From collection of a now deceased Japanese collector, accumulated between 1970-2015.

Object Condition

Fine condition, a prominent dent to the spherical component as well as minor scratches and tears to the wider gold sheet sleeve. Slight bend to the suspension loop consistent with age.
