Description
Eastern Mediterranean, Greece or Rome, ca. 400 BCE to 100 BCE. An intriguing 81.99% gold (equivalent to 19K+) medallion pendant repousse decorated with a pair of figures within a slightly raised lip. The figures are faint, but perhaps they portray a scene between two gods or mythical figures. Amulets and medallions were worn for their protective powers and to attract good fortune, some are even inscribed with spells or charms not only for the living but to help in the afterlife as they were intended to be buried with their owners. Size: 1.25" Diameter (3.2 cm); gold quality: 81.99% gold (equivalent to 19K+); weight: 2.2 grams
