Replica Head Pendant 1-R:

A large and elaborately decorated head pendant trying to replicate the more rare type of pendant with the curly hair and beard that was mentioned in the introduction. It has been artificially patinated to appear ancient, about 30 mm wide, 16 mm thick and 53 mm or over two inches from top to bottom. The back is flat, while an original of this type would show a hole from the rod-forming technique.


Replica Head Pendant 2-R:

From the same maker as “1-R”, above, but replicating what is generally referred to as a “Bull pendant”, thought to be representative of a bull faced demon (?). This along with the large head pendant came on a string (see third pic), that was almost an exact copy of an original Phoenician era necklace pictured in a fairly popular Japanese bead book.
