Ornament, medallion from Tell Bazi [Aleppo]. Diameter 23 mm
“From the western side room of House 19 comes a disc-shaped piece of jewelry made of gold. In the middle it carries a rimmed disc of light green inlay. Four gold wires are applied all around with ends rolled up in opposite directions, the centers of which were punched from the back. A flat silver bracket is attached to the back in the manner of a clasp. A very similar piece of jewelry with the same type of decoration of applied gold wires is found in a tomb from Alalah, which is dated to Layer II (1350-1273 BCE).” [B. Einwag, A.
