Queen Helene

A gold earring inlaid with pearls and emeralds was discovered in the Ancient Tyropoeon Valley excavation at the Givati Parking Lot by the entrance to the City of David. Its quality raises the hypothesis that it belonged to a woman of high social status in the Roman period, about two thousand years ago, since it is in a later excavation layer it can be assumed that it was inherited from generation to generation. We followed the original design lines to preserve the majesty that the earring imparts.
