About this Work

Representations on grave reliefs from the oasis of Palmyra in Syria show very close parallels to this dignified, elegant set. The simple geometric forms are enlivened by restrained, delicate surface ornamentation and by the striking contrast of the black glass against the gold beads and pendants.
