SET OF HELLENISTIC GOLD JEWELLERY - EX. CHRISTIE'S. Ca. 3rd - 2nd century BC. A gold jewellery set comprising a necklace with griffin-head terminals and a matched pair of earrings with winged Eros figures. The necklace features a finely looped chain composed of reel-and-loop links, terminating in opposing griffin heads with detailed facial features and rounded ears. Cylindrical collars with inset garnet inlays connect the terminals to the chain, while a hook-and-loop mechanism is integrated between the heads for closure.
