2017 Replicas and Reproductions

Goldsmithery

Gilded silver reproductions of 3 gold necklaces - Au188, Au189, Au190 - exhumed from an occasional discovery during agricultural work in one big farm (Herdade do Álamo), in the region of Moura (Beja - Alentejo) - Treasure of the Alamo - from the Archaic Jewellery Collection of the National Museum of Archaeology (MNA). This work was carried out without touching the original artefacts through the use of 3D scanning technology, before proceeding with the goldsmith handwork, after the lost wax casting being made.
