An Imperial Greek Gold Talisman Pendant.
One-of-a-Kind, the pendant dates from ca.3rd-2nd century B.C. weights 4.79 grams, and measures 5.00 cm in length.
The 3rd to 2nd century B.C. marks the height of the Hellenistic Period in Greek jewellery. Following the sweeping conquests of Alexander the Great, the Greek world suddenly gained access to vast fortunes of gold and exotic gemstones from the Persian Empire and India.
The result was a golden age of jewellery defined by unprecedented opulence and intricate three-dimensional sculpting.
