MJ2306
Cette perle exceptionnellement grande est taillée dans une calcédoine bleu laiteux translucide et soigneusement polie pour obtenir un fini lumineux. Percée longitudinalement pour être suspendue, la perle démontre le haut niveau de savoir-faire lapidaire atteint à l'époque sassanide. Les perles de cette taille et de ce matériau étaient probablement appréciées comme amulettes protectrices et comme ornements. Un exemple vraiment charmant.
