A Merovingian gold pendant, 6th - 7th century
Round sheet gold richly decorated with filigree and granules on the obverse. Frame of two smooth gold wires with 42 soldered rings of thin, smooth gold wire between them. Each second ring filled with a thick granule surmounted by a tiny second granule. In the centre a set, round almandine surrounded by six granules. In the field between the almandine and the edge decoration six peltae of gold wire, the coiled ends set with a single granule each. Between the peltae a lozenge of four granules each on the outside and a single granule on the inside. Within the peltae a sheet-metal ribbon bent in the shape of a drop, with a granule in front of each pointed end on the inner gold wire of the edge trim. On top a barrel-shaped, biconical eyelet. Completely wire-wrapped, decorated with seven thick granules surrounding the edge. Minimally rubbed, particularly the eyelet. Intact. Width without eyelet 33 mm, with eyelet 37 mm. Weight 9.86 g. Intricately crafted gold jewellery from the early Middle Ages. Comes with a metallurgic expertise regarding the conductivity and the composition of the alloy, evidencing that the qualities ascertained correspond to that of similar objects from that period.
Provenance: Southern German private collection, acquired from an art dealer in the late 90s.
