Did You Know?

The cast bronze necklace pendants are partially oxidized, revealing a green patina.
Seven circular bronze pendants, aged with a mottled green patina, connect to form a curved necklace. Each disc features three raised concentric rings encircling a central protrusion. They attach via folded tabs to a flexible band, interspersed with fine wire coils. While five pendants form a central arc, the end discs sit slightly apart. Dark brown tones emerge beneath the verdigris, emphasizing the rhythmic, geometric relief of the cast bronze.
