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 />

Necklace Lobster claw closure. 18"L.<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 />

Roman world are the <strong>Museum</strong>’s panels from a<br />

ca. 50–40 B.C.) in the region <strong>of</strong> Campania.<br />

Our enchanting scarf is based on the<br />

rich colors and luxury <strong>of</strong> the trompe<br />

l’oeil scene painted on one <strong>of</strong> these<br />

panels. Silk crêpe de chine.<br />
