| Description |
This authentic Roman bronze bead depicting
the head of a woman has been mounted in a
modern 18 karat gold pendant.
With flowing hair that fall over her ears,
framing her face, this woman would surely
have been considered as beautiful to the eyes
of an Ancient Roman as we consider her
today. Who might she represent? A goddess?
A priestess? A princess? A past ancestor?
There are no definitive attributes that might
reveal her true identity. However, we can
presume that this amulet would have once
been worn around the body of a Roman, as
evident by the small hole under her chin and
on the back the piece, through which as
necklace would have been strung.
