UnknownBuckle 1900-1924 Theodore B. Starr This gold buckle is one half of a pair made by New York City jewelry firm T.B. Starr & Co. These buckles depict stylized dolphins and acanthus leaves, and they are delicately chased to create a textured finish. Theodore B. Starr was among the most prominent and influential jewelry and silversmithing firms in New York City during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Originally in partnership with jeweler and silversmith Herman Marcus under the name of Starr & Marcus, Theodore B. Starr established his own eponymous firm in 1877. Starrs work was regularly and enthusiastically heralded in the press. On March 18th, 1880 "The Independent" published an article in which “The House of Theodore B. Starr” is described as an establishment that develops “an educated demand for ‘beauty in use;” and where one will find “his taste and his intelligence stimulated.” The article goes on to state, “No more striking proof exists of the progress which, as pPlate, Royal Arms of France.

Babylonian These gold pendants and beads exemplify the finest craftsmanship in gold from the ancient Near East, and each represents a deity or the symbol of a deity. The two female figures, wearing horned headdresses and long flounced dresses, probably represent Lama, a protective goddess; the disk with rays emanating from a central boss represents Shamash, the sun god; and the forked lightning is the symbol for Adad, the storm god. The two disks with granulated rosettes may be symbols of Ishtar, goddess of love and war represented by the planet Venus. Necklaces with similar symbols can be found on the figures of royal personages in later Assyrian wall reliefs and probably served as both jewelry and talismans.It is difficult to date the group because the technique and imagery employed were known throughout the first half of the second millennium B.C.
