Black Glass Pendant, African Bust, 2nd half of 2nd C - 1st half of 1st C BC Pendant, African Bust, Black Glass, 2nd half of 2nd C - 1st half of 1st C BC, 13mm, poor form. cf Spaer: “The head of a Negroid youth with prominent cheekbones and brows, a broad nose, protruding mouth with full lips, tightly curled hair, and a long neck; originally both had a loop on top.” “The Negroid head is remarkable for the mere fact that so many identical pieces are known. The features are detailed and delicate; the color is almost always reported as purple (or violet). In all likelihood, this particular pendant type emanates from one and the same workshop. Another possibility is that the molds stem from a single source.” Spaer examples 325-6, Corning 3 #989 & 990, Borowski GR-7a-d (pg 285), Constable-Maxwell #188, Toledo Early Ancient 645a and b, Freer 60, Louvre 3 #45-47 and 177 on necklace (listing it as Punic production and excavated at Utica), Wolkenberg 124 (part of group lot), |
