See Various, Gold of the Thracian Horsemen, Treasures from Bulgaria, Montreal, 1987, fig.228; Williams, D. and Ogden, J., Greek Gold: Jewellery of the Classical World, New York, 1995, forparable items and discussion; 62.33 grams total, 4.3-22.5 cm (1 kg total, 29.5 x 26.5 cm including box) (1 3/4 - 8 7/8 in. (11 5/8 x 10 1/2 in.)). Acquired before the early 1970s. Ex London, UK, gallery. With Bonham's, London, 3 April 2014, lot 81. Property of a London gentleman. Apanied by a copy of the relevant Bonham's catalogue pages. This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is apanied by AIAD certificate no.11305-191940. The pellets ornamenting the diadem of the treasure seems similar to some repoussé dots of pectorals from Thracia, and the general style of the whole ensemble recalls elements of the archaic period, like the rosettes forming the earrings. It is possible that the set was done in the periphery of the Greek World, in Macedonia or Thracia. [4]
