Gold armband with Herakles knot
Hellenistic period
3rd–2nd century BCE
Gold inlaid with garnets, emeralds, and enamel
3 1/2in. (8.9cm)
The Herakles knot on this sumptuous armband is enriched with floral decoration and inlaid with garnets, emeralds, and enamel. According to the Roman writer Pliny, the decorative device of the Herakles knot could cure wounds, and its popularity in Hellenistic jewelry suggests that it was thought to have the power to avert evil.
