| Description |
Golden chains dangle from a bold disk
ornamented with a rope pattern. The
slightest turn of the head will set them
in motion, drawing attention to the
charms of the wearer. Such a jewel was
surely worn by a woman who was confident
of her own beauty. It is easy to imagine
her laughter, full of the love of life,
echoed by the gentle tingle of her
earrings. From this single, lovely clue,
we can picture her as if she were an old
friend.
