Object Description
A finely modelled Ancient Greek diadem fragment hammered from a thin gold leaf. The piece is bordered by a continuous frieze of small circles, rendered in repousse technique, while the majority of leaf’s surface has been left untouched by the craftsman. This beautiful piece of ancient funerary jewellery is integrated with a red support, which brings out the shine of the gold, and a layer of protective plastic.
Date: Circa 323-31 BC.
