Description

Ca. 500-300 BC. A stunning collection of gold beads and fittings showcasing a range of styles and designs characterized by a high degree of technical skill and artistic expression. The collection includes a pair of ram head pierced fittings, which were likely used as components of a larger necklace or headdress. The ram was a popular motif in Scythian art and was often associated with the god of war, making these fittings especially significant. Another highlight of the collection is the ram head fitting with two dangling pendants suspended from its mouth. This piece is notable for its intricate design, which features delicate chain links. The use of multiple pendants is a common feature of Scythian jewelry, and these pendants may have served as amulets or talismans. The large bi-conical hollow bead is another impressive piece. The bead features a filigree design that is carefully crafted to create a three-dimensional effect. Such beads were likely worn as part of a necklace or bracelet, and their large size and intricate design would have made them highly prized. The drum-shaped bead with circumferenital decoration is another fine example in this collection. This piece features an elaborate design that is carved into the surface of the bead using a variety of techniques. Finally, the melon-shaped bead with beautifully decorated body is carefully balanced by the intricate decoration that covers its surface. The Scythian world, which spanned the Eurasian steppes during the Iron Age, was characterized by a rich and varied material culture that included highly prized gold jewelry. The Scythians were renowned for their sophisticated goldworking techniques, which allowed them to create intricate and highly detailed pieces of jewelry that served as symbols of wealth, power, and prestige.Size: L:6.8-31mm / W:5.8-15mm ; 0.25-3.42gProvenance: Private London collection formerly acquired on the European Art market before 2000.
