Peter Reynaers

An extremely fine Ancient Roman matching pair of gold earrings, each featuring a suspension hook to the top. The earrings are composed of a lunala-like shaped core, rendered in a fine open work technique and further embellished by clusters of gold granules. The core is bordered by a gold twisted wire and ends in gold granules arranged in a pyramid-like shape. Two oval loops, one of each side of the earring’s core, lead to a gold chain, ending in glass and pearl beads. A further gold wire extends from the earring’s core, however missing the original bead pendant. 

Measurements: 5.8cm length, 5.21g weight.

Provenance: Private collection, Japanese gentleman (deceased).
