Orestes From The Getty Villa

In a previous post, I mentioned having gone to the Getty Villa in Pacific Palisades a few weeks ago.  In the exhibit room dedicated to the Trojan War, I photographed the fragments of a Greek silver belt from 540-530 B.C. whose plaques told the stories of epic heroes.  There's Zeus defeating Typhon, Perseus fleeing the Gorgons, Athena assisting

Nice. When does the belt date from, and where was it made?

It's Greek work, from 540-530 B.C.
