Sumerian Royal Collection is adapted from a choker and four strands of beads in the museum’s collection (ca. 2600–2500 B.C.) came from these lavish graves. Ancient arts date from the eighth millennium B.C. through the centuries just past the age of the Arab conquests of the seventh century A.D., objects originate from a expansive region centered in Mesopotamia, between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, and extending north to the Caucasus and the Eurasian steppes and south to the Arabian peninsula.
Excavations at the ancient Mesopotamian site of Ur uncovered the remains of the city and a Sumerian cemetery dating to the third millennium B.C. The so-called royal graves at Ur contained many extraordinary finds, including jewelry of gold, carnelian, and lapis lazuli. The blue lapis lazuli and gleaming gold used to make these adornments provide a rich sense of contrasting color and may have had amuletic properties. They certainly evoked distant lands, because the materials are not native to Mesopotamia; the lapis lazuli would have originated in Afghanistan and the gold would have traveled from Iran, Anatolia, or even faraway Egypt.
The Sumerian Royal collection features a necklace, bangle and hoop earrings. The prices range from 1,400 Baht – 8,900.- Baht
