About the Item
Bactrian culture spread across a wide area of modern-day Afghanistan and Uzbekistan and reached its zenith between 2100 and 1700 B.C. It produced many unique and distinctive objects and jewellery.

At the centre is a large piece of stunningly coloured smooth carved lapis lazuli, which hangs from two intrinsically carved points, reminiscent of a cat or pointed eared animal.

- Ancient Hellenistic Necklace with Banded Agate and Gold-Charm BeadsLocated in London, GBThis stunning necklace dates from the Hellenistic Period. Beginning with the death of Alexander the Great in 323 B.C., the era is renowned for its artistic efflorescence.

This piece likely dates from the Late Hellenistic period, during which jewellers made innovative use of gemstones within elaborate gold settings. This necklace composed of ancient elements, including 10 gold beads with hanging charms, 28 large natural polished garnet beads and a large central gold capped lozenge shaped banded agate. From the Hellenistic period, this necklace may have originated from Greece or as far East as the Bactriana (modern day Northern Afghanistan, including parts of southwestern Tajikistan and southeastern Uzbekistan). This necklace has been restrung and fitted with an 18ct gold S clasp.Category
