Pendant
Unknown2nd–1st century B.C.
The J. Paul Getty Museum
Los Angeles, United States
Pendants with cuffs of raised gold sheet. The end cuffs have gold end plates, and are attached to stone by metal pins. One cuff is edged with twisted gold wire and decorated with triangles of granulation. The second cuff corresponds in type to the second cuff on 81.AN.92.12, with beaded gold wire around the edge and drop-shaped ornaments as well as gold wire tongues. Perhaps it is a replacement of a missing cuff.
