Ancient Rome, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. A rare carved bone tool, once used by an ancient Roman surgeon, with finely incised details, the upper end wrapped in bronze wire, and suspended from a modern brown leather cord via decorative links. While the tool is rather rudimentary, Rome was remarkably advanced in its medical research and development of surgical instruments. The piece also includes a signature dangler from the Muzeion Gallery of Dallas, Texas. Wearable and quite unique! Size: bone surgical tool pendant measures 3.5" L (8.9 cm); leather cord measures 18" L (45.7 cm)

Provenance: Wearable, one-of-a-kind custom-designed ancient art jewelry from Muzeion Gallery, Dallas, TX
