The feminine Jewels

 

Some female statues belonging to group B have some jewels around the neck.
The stela of Filetto III shows a double necklace which partly lays on the breasts. It is probably composed by small stone beads which were frequently found within the caves of Copper and Bronze Age in the north-west of Tuscany, as for instance the Buca of Fondineto (Massarosa, Lucca), the Castle Cave and the Hell Cave of Vecchiano (Pisa).
Intead the statues of Treschietto and Sorano II have a collar around the neck, probably made with large metallic rings similar to those actually used by some african people. This particular jewel can be dated back to the beginning of the Bronze Age.
