Item Details
Description
Ca. 800-400 BC A finely modelled Archaic Eastern Greek or Achaemenid Empire matching pair of gold pennanular earrings. Each earring features a hinged fastening which would have been originally secured with a pin, now missing. The earrings display a slightly bulging at the centre, which can be found also on Cypriot chevron-shaped earrings, dating around the 6th century BC, antecedents of the boat-shaped variety popular in classical times. For a similar item: The British Museum, item 124059. The item has undergone X-ray fluorescence analysis to confirm the metallurgical content suggesting its ancient origin and lack of modern trace elements. Size: Set of 2: L:25mm / W:27mm; 5.1g Provenance: Property of a London Ancient Art Gallery; formerly in the famous Alison Barker collection, a retired London barrister; acquired between early 1960s to 1990s.
