The finest objects brought to you by {name}

Peter Reynaers

A fine Ancient selection of 13 beads and appliques. The beads vary in sizes ranging from 1.4 cm to 2mm. 

Gold beads, like this fine example, would have been a part of elaborate larger pieces, such as on necklaces or bracelets in the area of Western Asia. Beautiful precious and semi-precious stones would have been added in the larger pieces to signify wealth and social status. These styles were at the centre of Near Eastern and Western Asiatic jewellery production and were later adopted by the Greeks, Etruscans and Romans.

Weight: Circa 2.6g total 
Provenance: Ex private Japanese gentleman collection 1970-2010
