Numerous items in her collection are composite artifacts made from various cultures and time periods reappropriated as modern jewelry creations by or for Muriel.

Japan gold (metal)Sherd ca. 4000-3500 B.C. Iran This sherd is made of a pale red clay, with black painted decoration. It is typical of Namazga I ceramics from Turkmenistan, dating to ca. 4000-3500 B.C. It was excavated in 1937 at a prehistoric site in the vicinity of Nishapur in northeastern Iran. While Nishapur itself was founded by the Sasanian king Shapur I (reigned ca. A.D. 241-272), this sherd shows that human habitation there goes back to the prehistoric period. Furthermore, the prehistoric pottery from Nishapur has close affinities with ceramic materials from Central Asia rather than with contemporary sites in Iran, meaning that in this period its inhabitants were likely culturally linked to their neighbors to the east. At the same time, Nishapurs location on what later became known as the Great Khorasan Road suggests that it was part of the trade network that facilitated the import of precious stones such as lapis lazuli, carnelian and turquoise from Central Asia to Mesopotamia..

Date: ca. 9th-8th century B.C..These dark blue strips of glass were found at Arslan Tash, together with a large group of carved ivory furniture inlays. The color of these pieces suggests that a metal ore such as copper or cobalt was added to the glass matrix. They may have been intended to imitate lapis lazuli, a dark blue semiprecious stone mined in northeastern Afghanistan that was prized by the Assyrians. These pieces were probably manufactured by Phoenician craftsmen who were expert at inlaying glass into ivories. Two pieces take the shape of long feathers, although the tip of one does not survive. These pieces may have been inlaid into cloisons (walled cells) within the wing of a fantastic creature such as a sphinx on a carved ivory furniture inlay, which was then joined to a piece of wooden furniture. The two rectangular strips may have been set directly into a piece of furniture.Arslan Tash, ancient Hadatu, Plate Empty heritage plate in black marble stone Copyright: xZoonar.com/Baloncicix 7308362Pendant ca. 9th century B.C.
