Sarmatian gold chain necklaces with the tube-shaped pendants

“During the Hellenistic period, Greek goldsmiths often adorned necklaces and earrings with numerous pendants: florets, fruits, miniature vases, and animal heads. The original gold necklace comes from the Kerch region of Crimea. Other similar pieces of jewelry with the same type of pendants are known from the same region. The Louvre necklace testifies to the abundant jewelry fashioned in the Greek colonial cities along the Black Sea coast, whose location brought them into contact with both Athens and the eastern worlds, first Scythian and then Sarmatian.

The question arises as to whether this type of necklace is an import from Greece itself, a local imitation, or a creation of the goldsmiths’ workshops operating in the wealthy cities of the Greek periphery.” https://boutique.louvre.fr/fr/product/24110-collier-grec-pendeloques-dore.html
