Description

Silver front piece of a diadem or probably a belt formed by a rectangular central piece, finishing in a triangle at each end. The central body consists of small rings linked together. The ends are formed by similar triangular plates decorated with circles in relief. It is considered a headdress from a funerary site in one of the Empúries necropolises.
