Splendour from the Black Sea!
This Hellenistic diadem transforms gold and gemstones into a miniature mythological scene: a Heracles knot at its centre, surmounted by Nike, the winged goddess of victory, and framed by sea monsters.
Made from gold, garnet, carnelian, and sardonyx.
Found at Kerch, dating 250–150 BC.
On display at Antikensammlung München
