A necklace and two gold earrings, which could have been stolen from the Dacian fortress of Căpâlna and were recovered by the Romanian state from Germany, recently entered the patrimony of the National Museum of the Union (MNU) Alba Iulia, according to a communiqué posted on the institution's Facebook page.

The necklace that makes up the jewelry set consists of a chain, made of tightly woven wire links, to which are attached 26 pendants, which have bitronconic shape and were made in the technique of watermark and granulation.

"In ancient times, the number of pendants was higher. Today, at least one of them is missing, this being probably lost recently after the manipulation of the piece by traffickers ", mention the representatives of MNU Alba Iulia.

Museographers believe that the set of ornaments comes from a Greek goldsmith's workshop, probably located in one of the cities on the Black Sea coast, being produced in the II-I centuries BC.

Has anyone been to El Museo del Oro in Bogota, Colombia? It's amazing!

I haven't heard of it before but googling pictures I totally can see why you made the connection. :enigma: It's very beautiful.

Where can I get one? 

there were some replica Roman jewelry somewhat similar on sale in Musei Capitolini souvenir shop in Rome. I wanted to buy some but a mere pair of earrings were something like 160 euros so :huntyga:

If you're rich and if coronavirus ends soon, Rome might be the place for you :sis:

OT: Gorgeous pieces! 

Is there some reason my LG7 isn't here? Has she died or something?
