Origin: Israel (Galilee) Circa: 37 AD to 44 AD Collection: Jewish Coin Pendant Medium: Bronze/Gold Additional Information: This lovely coin is set in an 18-karat gold pendant. A token of a remarkable age and an equally remarkable personality, this ancient coin links us directly with a vanished world. Educated at the imperial court of Rome, Agrippa was the personal friend of Caligula and Claudius. At its peak, his kingdom rivaled that of his grandfather, Herod the great. Agrippa was one of the few herodian kings on good terms with both his subjects and the Romans. This coin, minted without graven images in the Jewish tradition, is adorned with symbols of abundance and kingly power. The people who first held it were witness to history. Whoever wears it today in its frame of gold is certain to make a little history of it’s own. - (FJ.3637)   « Less

Those who first held it might have been roman centurions, worshipers at the temple, or followers of the carpenter from Galilee.

In the images, symbols and words that adorn ancient coins, we read of the hopes and dreams of men, the rise and fall of empires, the comings and goings of kings and queens.

This lovely coin glows with the touch of vanished hands, unseen perhaps, but as real as the patina of age. Under the Hasmoneans dynasty, Ancient Israel achieved a remarkable degree of political and cultural independence. This token of that era helps us cross the bridge of time. To wear it in its golden setting is to link us with the unbroken chain of human history. - (FJ.3697)   « Less

ALL ITEMS THAT WE OFFER FOR SALE COME WITH A CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY Reference: Egyptian Mummy beads Egyptian burial sites have enormous quantities of beads in many varieties. Since beads were such an integral part of the culture, they paint a poignant picture of an idealistic people, surprisingly sophisticated; yet bound by superstition. Beads were commonly worn to protect the wearer from misfortune, rather than to express status or wealth. In fact, the Egyptian word for luck was "SHA", and "SHA SHA" came to be the word for bead During the height of ancient Egyptian culture, virtually everyone wore beads; king and commoner, male and female, young and old. Those who had the means not only wore beaded collars and girdles, but shawls and whole garments of woven beads. Beads were used to cover any and all body parts. Even statues were draped with beads during this era of unprecedented splendor. When baked at high temperatures the clay constituents formed a glossy crust. Faience beads were extensively produced, and became widely available. Strung with gold spacers they were worn as earrings, bracelets, anklets and multi-stranded collars and aprons. During the later period, faience beads were produced almost exclusively for funerary use and some mummies were buried with thousands of beads. Thus the tombs that were designed to defend their tenants against the erosion of time have become windows through which we peer into the very heart of an ancient culture.   « Less
