Ca. 100-300 AD. Roman. A restrung and fully wearable necklace made of a single string of white, transparent, and blue glass and stone beads of various shapes with two ellipsoid green/grey pendants. 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:285mm / W:130mm ; 17g. Provenance: Obtained on the London art market in the early 2000s; formerly from the collection of an English Family, by descents from the 1970s.
