Gold jewelry. XIV c.

Gold jewelry. XIV c.

These gold ornaments, intended for women, were discovered during archaeological excavations conducted in the territory of the medieval city of Saraishyk.

Earrings
The gold earrings, crafted in a style characteristic of the Golden Horde period, feature a spherical central element with four drop-shaped pendants attached by small chains. The surface of the earrings is decorated with finely carved ornamental patterns.

Garment Appliqués
The appliqués used to adorn the neckline of lightweight clothing are embossed with a five-petaled floral motif. Each appliqué measures 0.5 × 0.5 cm. Despite their delicate craftsmanship, the items are remarkably well preserved and were found intact during excavation.

Ring
The face of the ring is decorated with a hexagonal star, while the junction between the bezel and the band is embellished with ornamental designs. The diameter of the ring face is 1.5 cm. This piece of jewelry, dating to the early medieval period, is exceptionally well preserved: it was found intact, with its engraved patterns clearly visible and retaining their original quality.
