The BESTeam featured "Theme" for this week is Ancient Cultures. I have gathered a few incredible finds from three of my team mates, that reflect this Theme. I hope you like them as well as I do!

First off is this Vintage Chinese Wood Panel.

This beautifully illustrated piece reveals three men, whom appear to either be "Wise Men" or "Religious Leaders".  Although this piece appears to show slight wear, you can still see the high detail and intricate craving on this exceptional piece. This exceptional piece is available through redemptionart.
Redemptionart is full of Vintage, Hand Made, and Up-cycled Art from Hawaii. The owner of this fine shop is Connie. She purchases these items for her Etsy Shop from neighborhood garage sales to high end estate sales, carefully selecting each item herself. Connie has a wide range of various items, so I would encourage you to take a look at all this shop has to offer.

For coin collectors and women, my next "Ancient Cultural" piece is quite exceptional in depicting the Roman Era. This striking Necklace strung with White Freshwater Pearls includes an ancient coin of Constantius II - Roman Emperor who ruled in 337-361 A.D.

 My last "Ancient Culture" find are these marvelous and very fashionable Handmade Silver Swirl Hoop Earrings. These Earrings are offered by Jaynemarie, of JewelrybyJaynemarie.

 Now, some of you, like me, may wonder what a "Spiral" would have to do with "Ancient Culture".  Well after a quick "Google Search", I found that the Spiral was a design that the Romans and Greeks used in their temple columns. They also used this design in their vases. Even the Celts painted their bodies with Spirals in blue dye, to intimidate their enemies during battle. So, just with this little bit of information, these Earrings are certainly valid for "Ancient Cultures".
I do have to add that these are not the only style that Jaynemaire offers.
Jaynemarie's specialty is custom design and wedding jewelry, and I can assure you her designs are stunning!
I certainly would encourage you to stop by Jaynmarie's Etsy Shop first, for your (or friend, relative) wedding accessories before looking elsewhere!

Lastly, please keep in mind that these are pieces would make wonderful gifts for people who are into the study of cultures around the world and the artistry associated with them.
Remember Christmas will be here before you know it!
