The display includes the skeletons of a woman and child found buried wearing elaborate jewellery made from ostrich and dentalium. STORYLINE: Before there was Tiffany's, before Cartier, there was prehistoric bling. This shell necklace found in the Middle East is 120,000 years old and is believed to be the oldest item of jewellery found outside of Africa. It's on display at 'Adornment', an exhibition hosted by The Israel Museum in Jerusalem. It charts the jewellery and body decorations worn by prehistoric people. "The exhibition 'Adornment' is talking about the phenomenon of people wearing jewellery from human cultures around this area. It all begins approximately 120,000 years ago, when people started to put jewellery on themselves. We don't know if it's exactly on your body or on their clothes but this is the first evidence outside of Africa of ornaments or personal ornaments that people wore on themselves," says the exhibition's curator, Ahiad Ovadia. There are no sparkling diamond necklaces or shiny gold rings. Seashells, bone beads and even eggshells are the materials of choice. A skeleton from 6,500-7,000 years ago was discovered with an ostrich eggshell belt. The huge volume of beads indicates the woman was likely high status. "We have a woman buried with 1,667 beads made of ostrich eggshells. This a huge amount and she was probably very important back then," says Ovadia. It runs until April 15, 2023.
