- Lot Description
Ancient Near East, Achaemenid Persian Empire, ca. 550 to 330 BCE. A beautiful and wearable pendant made from 97.5% gold (equivalent to 22K+) containing a petite leaded-brass pendant with an image of a stylized bird head. The bird, perhaps a depiction of "Shahbaz," the royal falcon that appeared on the royal flag of the Achaemenid Persian Empire, is of a minimalist design with a left-facing head bearing a petite beak and backswept feathers atop the head. The circular pendant setting has a cord-patterned periphery that traces upwards to form an hourglass-shaped suspension loop. Strung on a modern necklace strand, this is a gorgeous accessory ready to complement any outfit! Size (pendant): 0.45" W x 0.625" H (1.1 cm x 1.6 cm); (necklace): 22" L (55.9 cm); quality of gold: 97.5% (equivalent to 22K+); total weight (including brass): 2 grams
Provenance: ex-Phoenicia Holyland Antiquities, New York, New York, USA, before 2010
