Description

*A LARGE GREEK HELLENISTIC GOLD PENDANT.
3rd-2nd century BCE
L. 3,7 cm

Provenance
Old private collection, Switzerland, between 1980s-1990s

Composed of two round gold plates soldered together. On the main face, the raised center is decorated with an eight-petal rosette made of gold wires. Surrounding it are concentric bands featuring an alternating pattern of plain, twisted, and braided cables. The edge is adorned with a radiating motif. The suspension loop is formed from a gold sheet folded over itself. In excellent condition. This element was likely the central pendant of a necklace.

For Swiss buyers, VAT applies to the hammer price and buyer's premium (only for the lots with the * mention)

Estimate: 4000 - 4500 CHF
