This combination of necklace and pendant is quite extraordinary. Such a splendid treasure could only have been made in Persia, unifier of the ancient Orient. Likely it was ordered by a Persian and made in a workshop by Greek and Egyptian craftsmen. Pendant, front, collar-like necklace, and back neck clasp are rich with designs evoking fortune in battle, long life, and happiness. The inscription on the back of the pendant tells that it was the treasure of Greeks from the Age of Alexander onward.
