Achämenidische Handwerker des Partherreichs verwendeten die Ikonographie von Dionysos, dem griechischen Gott des Weins, für viele Dinge, einschließlich Schmuck. Dieser dionysische Einfluss zeigt sich in diesem Goldelement, das die Form von Weintrauben annimmt.
Fünf separate Cluster beginnen an der unteren Halbkugel des abgerundeten Anhängers und verjüngen sich, wenn sie sich an der unteren Achse treffen. Dieser Tropfen, der möglicherweise einst zu einem Paar Ohrringen gehörte, ist eine hervorragende Darstellung der Synthese griechischer und nahöstlicher Elemente, die auf die parthische Kultur hinweisen. Das Traubenmotiv stammt aus dem dritten Jahrtausend v. Chr.
