This gorgeous round gold plated brass necklace with a red gemstone is artwork based on an archeological discovery on display at the extraordinary exhibit at the Israel Museum, Herod the Great: The King's Final Journey. This exhibit details the excavation of Herodium, King Herod’s Judean desert fortress, exposing for the first time, the palatial pleasure palace with its pools, decorated bathhouses, and hints of lush gardens, as well as the 1,200-foot-long surrounding leveled area.
