*A GREEK HELLENISTIC GOLD EARRNG WITH A WINGED LION.
3rd century BCE
L. 3 cm

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

The front part is shaped as a winged lion, with the curved wing tips finely detailed through cold incisions. The ears are adorned along the edges with an incised gold cable. The junction between the body and the attachment is formed by a tubular section composed of a round cable and braided wires, from which emerges a thick twisted cable intended for ear attachment. Excellent preservation and impressive dimensions.

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

Estimate: 1500 - 1800 CHF
