Description |
English:
These gold Parthian funerary objects were excavated from local graves at Nineveh in northern Iraq. This location was close to the border between Parthia and Rome and may show how Roman cultural practices began to influence Parthian burial customs. These objects usually consisted of items of personal adornment and small objects which may have been attached to wreaths or clothing. These exquisitely made artifacts are today on display at the Persian Empire collection of the British Museum.
