Byzantine - Necklace - Walters 571727

description

Summary

Made for a middle-class woman, this necklace is composed of simple, toy-like ducks that appear to be solid gold, yet are actually stamped out of thin foil. This creates the false impression of a very costly necklace, as do the glass beads that resemble pearls.

Romei means "man from Rome", identifying people who once lived in Rome and now living elsewhere - Eastern Roman Empire with its capital in Constantinople..
