- Lot Description
Late Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 3rd century CE. An elegant Roman necklace comprised of 86% ( 20K+) gold chain and a beautiful 83% (20K+) gold and shell pendant with a lovely pale pink color. The gold wraps around the smoothed, ovoid form of the shell, forming a band around its narrow edges. The women of the Roman Empire donned a wide assortment of jewelry. We know this to be true, because elite Roman women were laid to rest in sarcophagi painted with encaustic funerary portraits that depicted the deceased as youthful beauties dressed in refined clothing and bejeweled in elaborate necklaces and earrings. In addition, the sculpted stone portraits of the caravan city of Palmyra in Syria show the deceased donning jewelry, no doubt indicating their wealth and high social status for all eternity. Length of chain: 15.5" L (39.4 cm); size of pendant: 0.7" W (1.8 cm); total weight: 14.6 grams. Gold quality: 83%, equivalent to 20K+.
Provenance: private Dere Family Collection, New York City, New York, USA, acquired in the 1980s to 2000s; ex-Frances Artuner collection, Belgium, collected in the 1960s
