DescriptionEB1911 Jewelry - Mycenaean gold ornament - stags.jpg |
English: From gold ornaments found by Heinrich Schliemann in the graves of Mycenae: brooch or pinhead formed of two stags lying down, the bodies and necks crossing each other, and the horns meeting symmetrically above the heads, forming a finial.
The heads of these ornaments were of gold, with silver blades or pointed pins inserted for use. The bodies of the two stags rest on fronds of the date-palm growing out of the stem which receives the pin. |
