Details of gold items

Description

Fragments of decorative appliqués made of gold, dating back to the Early Iron Age. The items are flat, with rectangular and curved shapes. Each piece is finely crafted, featuring zoomorphic and geometric patterns on the surface. Some fragments clearly display stylized animal figures and compositional elements.

The appliqués were likely used as decorative elements for clothing or horse harnesses. Black spots are visible on the reverse side, indicating long-term burial in the ground and changes caused by oxidation.
