This is a lovely piece of ancient gold dating to the ancient culture which inhabited the Indus Valley, circa 2600 - 1800 BC. The piece is something of a pendant, with three bunches of grapes mounted to two horizontal tubes for stringing. Could be re-strung and worn safely, if you're inclined. The gold is high-karat, probably 22K+. Measures 15.6 mm in length. A lovely piece. Other than some expected denting to the hollow gold elements, the piece is intact. Provenance provided to purchaser.
