Disc brooch. Gold jewelry. May have been dedicated to Senuna

Gold jewelry

This ornate group may have been dedicated to Senuna by a wealthy female worshipper. It consists of a pair of disc brooches and a disc- and-chain neck ornament decorated with colored glass and enamel, and a large oval clasp set with a red carnelian. This gem is engraved with the figure of a lion. The carnelian gem and the glass inlays of the brooches were re-used from earlier jewelry.
