A PAIR OF GOLD, PEARL AND AGATE EARRINGS IN THE FORM OF A FISH, LATE FIRST MILLENNIUM B.C.
Each earring features a delicately carved agate in the shape of a fish, suspended from a gold disc adorned with a floral motif. Below each fish, a small pearl adds a touch of elegance and further enhances the luxurious nature of the earrings.
The choice of fish as the central design element likely carries symbolic meaning, as fish were often associated with fertility, abundance, and protection in various ancient cultures. The combination of gold, pearl, and agate highlights the high level of craftsmanship and the value placed on these materials in ancient times.
