拍品描述
Description Roman-controlled Egypt, Alexandria, late Ptolemaic to early Roman period, ca. 1st century BCE to 1st century CE. A gorgeous pendant of a conical form that is hand-carved from vermilion-hued carnelian. The smooth body gradually tapers towards the top where a shallow incised groove is situated, and within the groove is a loop-ended wire made from 95% gold (equivalent to 22K+). The ancient Egyptians believed that carnelian represented the blood and therefore the life flowing within each human and animal. The sanguine coloration was also believed to be a protective symbol for both the living and the dead. Strung on a modern necklace cord, this is a wonderful and wearable example of ancient jewelry! Size (pendant): 0.3" W x 1.1" H (0.8 cm x 2.8 cm); (necklace cord): 22" L (55.9 cm); quality of gold: 95% (equivalent to 22K+) Provenance: ex-Frances Artuner collection, Belgium, collected in the 1960s All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back. A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany all winning bids. We ship worldwide and handle all shipping in-house for your convenience. #155512 Condition Report Strung in modern times and wearable as shown. Carnelian and gold pendant is ancient, and necklace cord is modern. Minor abrasions and encrustations to carnelian and gold, with nicks to top of carnelian, otherwise intact and excellent. Nice patina to gold.
