Hellenistic Gold Wreath - uncommon Greek artifact.

Exquisitely crafted gold wreaths imitating laurel, oak, or myrtle leaves were awarded as prizes at athletic games and worn as symbols of victory and divine favor. Made from paper-thin hammered gold with individually attached leaves and berries, these delicate crowns are masterworks of Hellenistic goldsmithing.
