Description
English: Reel with representations of Pegasus and Chimaira, probably an ear-stud. Gold with filigree, granulation and stamping decoration, early 4th century BC. Origin is uncertain: the shape refers to Southern Italy whereas the granulation is specific to Etruscan jewellery.
Français : Rouelle aux Pégases et aux Chimères, probablement une boucle d'oreille. Or à décor de filigrane, de granulation et d'estampage, début du IVe siècle av. J.-C. Origine incertaine : la forme renvoie à l'Italie méridionale, mais le décor de granulation est particulier aux bijoux étrusques.
