Seven gold plaques showing Artemis
Légende
Seven gold plaques showing Artemis as 'Mistress of Animals' Greek / Orientalizing period / about 660-620 BC From Rhodes / Aegean Sea. These seven gold plaques were designed to be strung together and worn along the top edge of a garment / with the rosettes pinned to it at the shoulders. The plaques are of sheet gold / and are identical in form / though the added decoration in filigree and granulation on the dress of the goddess and the bodies of the lions is different in each case / creating a rich effect. Pomegranates / which were symbols of fertility / hang from the bottom of each plaque.
