Ancient Near East, Marlik or possibly Hasanlu, ca. 12th to 10th century BCE. A beautiful necklace comprised of a large circular gilded silver pendant (53% silver and 44% gold) presenting a beautiful star motif in repousse with a central round boss, 7 rays, 7 bosses between the rays, and a rope border. At the top is a cylindrical loop incised with horizontal bands. This pendant is suspended between dozens of ancient glass beads, including 31 blue lozenge shaped glass beads and about 30 gold-hued round and lozenge shaped glass beads. A stunning piece of wearable art comprised of masterfully crafted ancient components! Size: glass bead strand measures 20" L (50.8 cm); pendant measures 1.625" in diameter (4.1 cm); total weight: 16.3 grams
Marlik is an ancient site of a royal cemetery near Roudbar in Gilan, north of Iran, just south of the Caspian Sea. The culture that buried their deceased at Marlik remain somewhat of a mystery for historians. No written records from these peoples have been found, and with the exception of the cemetery at Marlik not much in the way of archaeological records has survived to shed light on their history. Scholars believe that the population in the vicinity of Marlik relocated to the central Iranian plateau near Sialk and assimilated into the native population. Teppe Hasanlu is an archaeological site located in northwest Iran (province of West Azerbaijan), south of Lake Urmia. Its destruction at the close of the 9th century BCE preserved a layer of this city, leaving well preserved buildings, artifacts, as well as skeletal remains from both the victims and their foes.
