Description

Art jewelry makes a unique gift for her.

Thought to suggest clusters of grapes, the unique beads defining these earrings come from a timeless gold-and-carnelian necklace (ca. 1550–1295 BCE) displayed in the Early New Kingdom Study Room of The Met's Egyptian Art collection. The open-storage displays in this gallery allow visitors to discover architectural fragments, small statues, tombstones known as stelae, cosmetic containers, jewelry, and amulets dating between 1550 and 1300 BCE. The Museum houses a number of New Kingdom pendants modeled after a bunch of grapes, indicating that this was a popular motif.
