Gold fillet / necklace with a Herakles knot
late 4th–3rd century B.C.E.

“The central ornament of the fillet is a Herakles knot. Two palmettes with a rosette in the middle fill the center of the knot, while the four ends terminate in lion heads. Between the pairs of lion heads on the knot are two exquisitely finished female heads. At the clasp end of the chains are lion-head terminals, each with a ring in its mouth.”

Gold necklace with gemstones & glass (according to the museum gemstones are ruby and hematite, but I think it’s a mistake. It would be more carnelian & chalcedony).
