| Description |
Sixty-one striated beads comprise this
necklace.
Each bead has a bulbous shape with a
wide
middle that narrows at the top and
bottom. They
become progressively larger towards the
end of
the strand. The effect is of geometric
unity,
combined with texture, creating a sense
of
continuous movement. Such 'energy' is
produced
not only by design, but also by the gold
itself.
This necklace most probably adorned the
neck
of a wealthy woman, perhaps given as
part of a
large dowry. Its elegance is as
impressive today
as it was when first made so long ago.
