1,800-year-old 'evil eye' jewelry unveiled in Jerusalem

Jewelry designed to protect a young girl from the "evil eye" and aid her passage to the afterlife over 1,800 years ago has been unveiled in Jerusalem. The treasure, which includes golden earrings, a hairpin, a pendant, and glass and gold beads bearing the symbols of the Roman Moon goddess Luna, was discovered in a lead coffin in 1971 but has only now gone on display for the first time. The remarkably well-preserved items date to when Jerusalem had been re-established as a colony named Aelia Capitolina in AD 129 following the destruction of the city and its Jewish Temple during the Roman-Jewish War in AD 70.
