Hi,

There have been very few scientific analyses of such head pendants. There is a lot of information about the composition of the glass used to form core formed Phoenician vessels, bur whether such information is validly relevant to the composition of the glass used to make the head pendants is unsure.

Authentication therefore would be on stylistic grounds rather than scientific analyseis. The eminent authorities are to be found at the Corning Museum of Glass. If you could visit them? Or maybe contact by email?

I think you are going to  have to show it to a proper expert in person to be sure; but I must say that I have never seen the eyes made like this.

Very many of the genuine Phoenician head beads look rather strange but this one is even stranger!
The majority on the market are not ancient and I very much doubt that this one is genuine.
Where did you buy it? That might tell you something important.

I’m sorry for my poor english but i’m not understand your answer.
Do you think that could be a real carthaginian head glass pendant?
Thank you.

Hi to everybody! I need your help understanding if that item is a fake or not.
Thank you!
