A.D. 2nd century · gold · Egyptian Art
The beaded wire wheel is characteristic of the Roman Period. The figure medallion is rather flimsy gold with a beaded wire surround. The figures long hair gathered behind his head suggests perhaps Alexander or Dionysus, perhaps the latter more likely. Both hang on very open loop-in-loop chain.
