Source Description
Etruscan necklaces often combined a great variety of beads and pendants made from different materials. This arrangement of 202 zinc-copper alloy beads, 23 glass beads, and 23 gold pendants is a reconstruction of the likely original. The gold leaves are worked in repoussé, and represent either a human head with a palmette or a bunch of grapes.
