“cemetery of Marlik in the Sepidrud valley of Gilan, which dates back to the end of the Late Bronze and the early Iron Ages, has yielded a wealth of gold and silver objects, among which sets of gold and silver vessels and jewellery items (Negahban 1996). Of the jewellery, only a few gold items, such as an earring (Negahban 1996, no. 202) and a sun disc pendant (Negahban 1996, no. 183), are made with true granulation. Other jewellery discs were decorated instead with small punches and holes in an apparent attempt to imitate the effect of granulation” [Barbara Helwing]
