This chain is an ancient style but was relatively rare in antiquity, with the only gold examples found in the ancient Assyrian city of Nimrud. Nuru is the ancient Assyrian word for light. Research has theorized that gold was highly prized in the Assyrian culture for its divine properties of light and luster as much as for its rarity and significant cost, given there were no sources of gold in ancient Mesopotamia.
