Context:
Several new motifs from the Near East were incorporated into Greek art during the 7th century bc, (known as the "Orientalizing Period"). Among them was the strictly frontal rendering of the human figure, called daedalic (from Daedalus, a legendary Greek craftsman). This rare and exceptionally well-preserved gold pendant, once part of a necklace or belt, depicts a daedalic winged female goddess flanked by two lions. The goddess is Artemis, known as the potnia theron or"mistress of the animals." Her image was probably burnished in sheet gold over a core of wood, ceramic, or stone. A frame of finely worked sheet gold and a colored glasslike substance with four gold spheres at the corners surrounds the figural group. The pendant represents the earliest use of this glasslike substance in Greek gold jewelry yet known.
