LATE HELLENISTIC CARNELIAN<br />
JEWELRY By Late Hellenistic times, the Greek<br />
practice <strong>of</strong> burying the wealthy and powerful with<br />
their jewelry was less common than in previous<br />
periods. The <strong>Museum</strong>’s collection includes a<br />
fine rare parure (matching set) <strong>of</strong> a necklace<br />
and earrings <strong>of</strong> gold and agate with large garnet<br />
cabochons (Late Hellenistic, 1st century B.C.),<br />
the source for our bold, beautiful adaptations.<br />
24K gold overlay with carnelian stones.<br />
Earrings 3/4"L. 80-011509 $65<br />

LATE CLASSICAL GREEK BRACELET<br />
Classical Greek jewelry tended to exclude<br />
gemstones and most surviving pieces are<br />
<strong>of</strong> gold, with rarer extant examples in silver<br />
and bronze. An intricate silver bracelet with a<br />
gold stud (Late Classical, ca. 350–300 B.C.) has<br />
been adapted for our beguiling bangle. 24K gold<br />
overlay with a garnet stone. Hinged with a boxand-tongue<br />
closure. 6 1/2" inner circ.; 1/2"W.<br />

C. NEW THE THREE GRACES Created in<br />
the 2nd century A.D., the <strong>Museum</strong>’s friezelike<br />
marble sculpture The Three Graces is a<br />
Roman copy <strong>of</strong> a Greek statue group from the<br />
2nd century B.C. Three young girls, linked in<br />
a dance-like pose, represent Aglaia (Beauty),<br />
Euphrosyne (Mirth), and Thalia (Abundance),<br />
handmaidens to Aphrodite, the goddess <strong>of</strong> love<br />
and beauty. Our reproduction deftly captures<br />
the elegant sensuality <strong>of</strong> these graceful figures.<br />
Cast resin, hand patinated. 10"H x 10"W<br />
x 3 3/4"D. 80-017478 $195<br />
