Document Details : Title: Axes, Labyrinths and Astral Symbols Subtitle: Bronze Pendants and Pins from the Armenian Highlands Author(s): AVETISYAN, Pavel , DAN, Roberto , PETROSYAN, Artur Journal: Ancient West & East Volume: 17 Date: 2018 Pages: 27-63 DOI: 10.2143/AWE.17.0.3284888 Abstract : The aim of this paper is to give a detailed analysis of a group of pendants and pins distinguished by the presence of peculiar decorations. We have proposed for these objects a new date to the Iron Age. The majority of them were found in a number of excavations, in rich burials of persons of high rank. In most cases, the objects were found in poor condition, while the best-preserved specimen, discovered in Gavar almost complete, was found in fortuitous circumstances. In the present article, a new interpretation of this object is provided. |
