Title
Gold Necklace (Arsos 7th Century B.C.), 1980 Definitive Issue Overprinted in cents, Republic of Cyprus
Description
This stamp depicts a gold necklace with an agate pendant from the sanctuary of Aphrodite, in Arsos, from the Archaic Period, early 6th century B.C., now in the Cyprus Museum, Nicosia. This is a beautiful example of the high quality work that Cypriot craftsmen could produce some 2500 years ago. (see also the definitive set of 2000, Jewelry of Cyprus). Francis Bacon (1561-1626), English philosopher and essayist said: "Antiquities are history defaced or some remnants of history which have casually escaped the shipwreck of time."
