Sunburst gold pendant with a Roman bronze and enamel comedy mask, circa 100-200 AD.
This one-of-a-kind pendant features an beautifully aged Roman miniature sculpture, dating to the 2nd century AD. Cast in bronze, carved and then set with enamel, the piece portrays a classical comic theatre mask — a motif rich in cultural significance and subtle social commentary in the Roman world.
In Roman society, comedy was both entertainment and veiled dissent — the sanctioned space where humour offered a mirror to power. Such ornaments may have served not only as a token of good fortune but as a quietly subversive emblem. The artefact is set in 14ct gold pendant and handmade chain.
