Sale - Late Antique Beaded Necklace

ENLARGE

In A.D. 313, Constantine the Great permanently established toleration of Christianity within the Roman Empire, allowing devotees to worship freely. Despite this, Christian iconography did not fully dominate the arts until the late fifth or early sixth century A.D; jewelry from this period continued to reflect the Roman taste for colorful stones and classical iconography. The Museum's Late Antique Beaded necklace is adapted from a necklace that was part of a group of jewelry found on the Hill of St. Louis in Carthage. The original, vibrantly jeweled necklace is formed of emerald crystals, sapphires, and pearls, and probably belonged to a prominent family. Produced in cooperation with The British Museum, London.

24K gold-plated sterling silver with cultured freshwater pearls, aventurines, and glass sapphires. Length 20 in.; width 1/4 in.
