一个精致的金质吊坠,中央球形主体装饰有金字塔形的颗粒簇,从将主体一分为二的可见赤道带逐渐变细,一个圆柱形轴从主体的上半球延伸出来,该轴也装饰有随机簇状的颗粒,在该轴的顶部是一块卷曲的金子用于固定,从下半球延伸出一个较短的突起,该突起顶部是一个带有进一步颗粒化的球体。
东地中海的工匠将希腊酒神狄俄尼索斯的形象运用到许多物品上,包括珠宝。这种狄俄尼索斯的影响在葡萄串形状的颗粒中显而易见。这款吊坠完美地体现了希腊和近东元素的融合。葡萄图案可以追溯到公元前三千年。

来源:弗农·皮克 (1903 - 1986) 私人收藏,20 世纪 50 年代末在瑞士收集,随后由皮克的侄子明尼苏达州的吉姆·汉森先生继承。弗农·皮克是明尼苏达州的一名中年电工,他将铀矿勘探变成了一项价值数百万美元的事业。经过 9 个月毫无结果的勘探后,皮克于 1952 年 6 月 21 日在犹他州埃默里县格林河西南 75 英里处发现了铀矿。他提出了几项主张,并将它们称为三角洲矿。在犹他州,他探明了 30 万吨矿石,《时代》杂志称之为“科罗拉多高原最丰富的发现之一” 。两年后,皮克以 900 万美元和一架定制改装的 PBY 飞机的价格将他的矿山卖给了国际金融家弗洛伊德·奥德伦奥德伦将这座矿井重新命名为“隐藏的辉煌”,但在他购买后不久,这条备受吹捧的矿脉就枯竭了。当地的爱开玩笑的人随后将这座矿井称为“奥德伦的隐藏失误”。
