Summary

[edit]
Description
English: When the resin lady was discoverted, she had near her a bronze jug (for water in those last terrifying hours), a purse and a small basket, containing coins and jewellery. Some of her possessions are shown here, from the jug to a Greek-style 'snake ring' and a small gemstone engraved with a bird on a branch. Her gold armlet was cut from the cast and replaced with a replica. Looking again at the resin lady's cast, near her stomach is a string of cheap blue pottery beads. When she rank she took these as well as her gold jewellery. Why? Could they have been a present from a child perhaps?

1-9 100 BC - AD 79, Villa B, Oplontis, Pompeii Archaeological Park.
