Description
Unique gifts for her. This striking necklace reimagines a 1st-7th-century necklace in The Met's Michael C. Rockefeller collection for the arts of ancient America. The original multistrand necklace (1st-7th century) is made primarily of gold, which artisans in the Calima region of southwestern Colombia finessed into spectacular regalia during the Yotoco period (100 BCE-800 CE). The necklace that inspired this jewelry is one of several brilliant gold adornments made by Calima crafters in the Museum's holdings.
