Gold pediment-shaped brooch. Culture: Greek. Dimensions: length 3 1/16in. (7.8cm). Date: ca. 340-320 B.C.. This remarkable object gains most of its effect from the calligraphic use of filigree wire on its large flat surface. There are now no traces of enamel, but this may well have added the further dimension of color. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
