Georgia (Akhalgori)

Golden Temple-Rings with Crescent Pendants from the Akhalgori Treasure

2707

Dated to the 5th to 4th centuries BC (with the burial itself ascribed to the end of the 4th century BC), during the classical antiquity period of ancient Georgia.

Recovered from an elite aristocratic female barrow burial in Akhalgori alongside six harnessed horses and attendants, these temple-rings functioned as high-status prestige regalia and personal adornment, reflecting the supreme rank and wealth of the noblewoman.
