Item Details
Description
Ca. 600-700 AD A matched pair of openwork gold earrings in a crescent shape, decorated with extensive granulation and tendrils. Byzantium was justly famous for the elegance of its jewellery, whether in precious metals for the aristocracy or in bronze for people further down the social ladder. The item has undergone X-ray fluorescence analysis to confirm the metallurgical content suggesting its ancient origin and lack of modern trace elements. Size: L:Set of 2: 30-33mm / W:28-29mm ; 8.53g Provenance: Property of a Mayfair London Gallery; formerly from an old British collection formed since 1980s.
