Circa 300-100 BC, Hellenistic Period A finely rendered Greek Hellenistic gold disc-shaped brooch/pendant, hammered from thin gold, with a cabochon garnet inset to the centre, with an inner gold centre. Radiating outwards from the garnet are delicate gold wires forming the shape of a sun star. The brooch outer borders are framed by incised decoration, while the reverse remains smooth and unworked. The item has undergone X-ray fluorescence analysis to confirm the metallurgical content suggesting its ancient origin and lack of modern trace elements. Size: L:73mm / W:72mm; 31.4g Provenance: Private London collection of Ancient Art; previously with a London art dealer; acquired from a Japanese collection (1970-2010).
