Abstract:
In the 21st century BC, the Trialeti Culture of Brilliant Kurgans as the
new socio-cultural unit appeared in the South Caucasian region. It is remarkable
that the mentioned Middle Bronze Age culture was characterized
by an essential change as in trading-economic and social fields and establishing
of new vectors and interests of international connections, as well
in the cultural sphere. These changes were demonstrated by the numerous
advances of material culture and several different aspects of life. Besides
various peculiarities, one of the most characteristic features of the Trialeti
culture is an unbelievably high level of achievements of the goldsmithery.
This field of high artistic craft is widely represented by the numerous items
of jewellery and toreutics. Currently, we would like to present the paper
devoted to one – the agate pendant.
