Detailed description | Gold body-chain:
This distinctive type of ornament had a long history and is represented in both Hellenistic and Roman art, but actual examples are extremely rare. The chains passed over the shoulders and under the arms of the wearer, with a decorative focus where they join on the chest and on the back. The two plaques where the chains join comprise a gold coin of Gratian (AD 367-83) in a decorative mount, and an oval setting for nine gems. Only the central amethyst and four garnets survive. The Hoxne body-chain is very small. It could only have been worn by a an unusually slender, probably young, woman or teenage girl. It may have been made for a special occasion, and only worn once. It is possible that this special occasion was the wedding of a young bride. |
