1991.75.99, Single snake bracelet, Near Eastern, Persia or Asia minor, 7th-6th centuries B.C.E.

Submitted by administrator on
GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
Chronologically and geographically, the term "Near Eastern jewelry" covers an enormous field. The three Near Eastern objects in the Moretti Collection of Ancient Gold Jewelry at the Dallas Museum of Art (see also 1991.75.97.a-b, 1991.75.98) date to the 1st millennium BCE and come from Persia (modern-day Iran) or Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey). This bracelet is very similar to another in the DMA's collection (1991.75.98), although it is smaller and the hoop is flattened on both sides.
