A Bronze teardrop-shaped jewelry mould, used for making jewelry such as pendant, earrings, etc. The jewelry were made by the ”lost wax” technique, which was widely known from the Late Bronze Age onwards. This technique involves the following stages: two stone or clay moulds are made with the form of the jewelry worked on them in reverse, in intaglio. Precisely half the piece was carved on each mould. Molten wax was poured into these moulds, which was then replaced by molten metal.
