    6th century A.D.

    Sold for (Inc. bp): £254

    Comprising a conical body with collared suspension loop above. 0.31 grams, 11 mm



    From the collection of a late Japanese collector, 1970s. This lot is accompanied by an illustrated lot declaration signed by the Head of the Antiquities Department, Dr Raffaele D'Amato.

    During the Late Empire, earrings with biconical foil applications became widespread in Roman Egypt. The comparison with necklaces containing similar biconical elements used as beads or suspension elements for pendants seems to give consistency to the chronological indication of the 6th century, especially in that geographical area.
