Description
Behold a miniature marvel of Carthaginian craft, a glass head pendant merely 21 mm in height. The pendant, with its pronounced eyes and tranquil countenance, is a testament to the finesse of ancient glass artisans. The subtle interplay of colors echoes the rich tapestry of cultural influences that converged in the Carthaginian empire. This tiny visage, possibly a talisman against the unknown, encapsulates the aesthetic ideals of its era. Such pieces were more than mere ornamentation; they served as a silent guardian to their owners, reflecting both their status and spiritual beliefs.
