Grupo de Ganimedes

ca. 330–300 BCE
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 158
Este conjunto requintado—que inclui um par de brincos, um colar, quatro broches, um anel e duas pulseiras—é um adereço completo, embora as diferenças estilísticas sugiram que as peças não foram feitas ao mesmo tempo. Destacam-se os brincos que representam em miniatura o jovem Ganimedes envolto nas asas de uma águia. O deus Zeus desejou que esse jovem fosse seu mordomo e se transformou em uma águia para levá-lo voando ao topo do Monte Olimpo. O anel é frisado com uma esmeralda trazida do Egito ou dos montes Urais. As argolas das pulseiras são feitas de cristal de rocha reforçado com fio de ouro.
