Description
This necklace, composed of polygonal carnelian beads alternating with gold links, reflects a popular Roman imperial style. One end of the hook-and-eye clasp bears a further decorative element- a carnelian seal with Athena and Hermes in intaglio. The necklace has a loop-in-loop chain that exemplifies this basic form. Although some of the gold links of this necklace may be modern, the necklace is a faithful reconstruction of a known style from the period.
