Gold ivy and fruit wreath, found in Chalkidiki, Macedonia, northern Greece. 350-325 BC. On display at the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki in Macedonia, northern Greece.
From the era of Philip II of Macedon, Alexander the Great’s father. It consists of 30 gold leaves and two sets of fruit. Archaeologists have unearthed globally only two more similar Macedonian wreaths. They claim that they were used by priests during Dionysus’ feast.
