- Lot Description
Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. A beautiful ancient Roman bracelet comprised of finely crafted gold links and garnet beads - the gold links forming traditional figure-eight forms and the wine red garnets perfect hand-cut into circular discs. A truly stunning example of ancient Roman's taste for refined jewelry! Size: 8.25" L (21 cm); garnet beads measure .25" in diameter (0.6 cm)
The women of the Roman Empire donned a wide assortment of jewelry. We know this to be true, because elite Roman women were laid to rest in sarcophagi painted with encaustic funerary portraits that depicted the deceased as youthful beauties dressed in refined clothing and bejeweled in elaborate necklaces and earrings. In addition, the sculpted stone portraits of the caravan city of Palmyra in Syria show the deceased donning jewelry, no doubt indicating their wealth and high social status for all eternity.
