Gold pendant depicting a meal

The piece of jewelry features a pictorial depiction that can be interpreted as a dining scene. A figure, presumably female, sits on a throne with a high backrest. She rests her feet on a small footstool. In her right hand, raised and bent in front of her body, she holds an object that may be a flower. In front of the seated figure stands a table with crossed legs. On it lie several flat objects stacked on top of one another. These are likely depictions of flatbreads. The rectangular pendant is elaborately soldered together from a multitude of individual parts. The pendant’s eyelet alone consists of eleven open rings placed side by side. The individual pictorial elements—the seated figure and the table—were cut from gold sheet, and the interior design was chased. These elements were then soldered onto the rectangular base plate. The highly decorative frame of this base plate consists of four different wires. The two inner wires are intertwined, while the two outer wires are soldered on smoothly.
