The second millennium BC saw a multicultural society due to the interaction of several civilizations from West Asia to the Near East. This brought to the appreciation of further materials in addition to gold and silver, such as glass, wood, bone or exotic raw ones. Moreover, and as shown by our pendant, such jewels and precious items would have been finely embellished with glaze.
