Gilt bronze, Under 1/2" diameter. Large domed form. The back hollow. A type about which there is some uncertainty. Romans used various natural forms in art including fruit and seashells. These may represent one of them. However, several variant sources describe these as worn specifically by prostitutes. As prostitution was practiced openly, that may be the case. Professionally refurbished with the 24karat gold surface restored on an 18" gilt Sterling silver neck chain for contemporary wear. Gift boxed with certification of authenticity.
