Ca. 100-300 AD. Roman. A restrung and fully wearable necklace made of a single string of white, red, green and blue circular and flat glass beads with gold five beads and a zoomorphic gold pendant (a snake head). Good condition. Necklaces and bracelets were part of the feminine costume in the Roman world and some examples can be seen faithfully illustrated, for instance, in the female painted mummy portraits from Roman Egypt; ancient sculptures too sometimes show bejewelled women of the Roman period – see, for instance, the splendid series of carved reliefs from the city of Palmyra, in modern Syria. To find out more about Roman jewellery, see, for example, Higgins, R. (1980). Greek and Roman jewellery. London: Methuen. Size: L:280mm / W:160mm ; 12.4g. Provenance: From the collection of a gentleman based in London; formerly in an old British collection; acquired in the 1980s.
