Caldas de Reis Hoard, Bronze Age gold treasure at Pontevedra Museum, Spain.
The Caldas de Reis Hoard contains forty-one pieces of pure gold artifacts, including rings, bowls, jugs, and decorated plate fragments.
Farmers discovered this collection while working their land in the 1940s, with the original assemblage estimated at twenty-five kilograms of gold.
The metalwork techniques used in creating these objects demonstrate the advanced goldsmithing capabilities of prehistoric communities in northwestern Spain.
Visitors can examine this archaeological collection on the first floor, room one of the Sarmiento Building at Pontevedra Museum.
The decorative gold comb features intricate incised patterns that replicate designs typically found on bone or wooden implements of the period.
