Parthian brooches, 200 BCE

Some time ago I found these pictures in the web, with the info "the Parthian gold pendants each have original loop fastenings, allowing them to be strung on a leather thong or gold chain". Fantastic jewelry that in some way reminds me of Palmyra.

There is the whole collection of that kind of Parthian jewelry "Ex. Anavian Family Collection acquired over 30 years ago by David and Henry Anavian, in Iran, prior to the Shahs departure". All was sold at the auction. http://arteprimitivo.com/scripts/detail.asp?lot_num=137442
