| Description |
In the ancient world, pendants served multiple
functions. In addition to their decorative appeal
as jewelry, pendants could act as talismans to
bring good luck and protect against illness and
the evil eye. To hold such a piece in our hands
today is to touch in an intimate way upon the life
of the person who owned it long ago. We cannot
help but wonder who that person was, what they
thought, what mattered to them. This object sets
the imagination upon an exciting journey of
discovery.
