Necklace with facing birds
Near East, 7th-8th centuries
Gold, travail au repoussé
Musée du Louvre, Department of Islamic Art
Acq. In 1900 OA 5007
This gold necklace features two small peacocks standing face to face on either side of a stylised central element, and small hollow beads welded to the rim. The style is entirely consistent with Late Antique jewellery, making accurate dating rather difficult: this piece may have been made during the Byzantine period or at the very beginning of the Islamic period.
