Hello Wendy

Thanks for that. Yes I saw that but it isn't clear what it refers to.

Therre are pictures of earrings with globo mammellato in the link below. Don't know if this helps.

Yes, a lot of guesswork, far too much.

Thanks very much Marco

Very useful indeed. It's all a little inconclusive isn't it? As these examples are so varied. I might need to pass it back to the author, especially as I have, in any case, no idea how to translate it.

See this for the meaning of "mammellato": https://www.almaany.com/en/dict/en-it/mammellato/ . The pictures that I have found for something "mammellato" ( https://www.google.com/search?q="mammellato"&tbm=isch&source... ) show protrusions that (with a bit of imagination) suggest breasts.

Mammellato

means "in the shape of a breast" (or at least resembling a nipple). Here you can see come pictures https://www.google.it/search?q=mammellato&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUK...

martellato does seem a possibility.

ASKER

I suppose martellato

13:23 May 7, 2020

is a possibility, though it feels like a bit of a long shot. I'll try to see if that is plausible for Egyptian antiquities.

ASKER

Yes it might be a typo for mammellato

13:22 May 7, 2020

though I found both on the web. I just don't understand what it means:

Martellato?

Marco Solinas

Could it be a typo for "mammellato"? Something like this: https://www.tripadvisor.com/LocationPhotoDirectLink-g1180051...
