Eberswalde Hoard, Bronze Age gold collection in Eberswalde, Germany

The collection contains 81 gold objects weighing 2.59 kilograms, including bowls, bracelets, necklaces, buckles, clasps, and various wire shapes.

Workers discovered the hoard on May 16, 1913, during construction at a brass factory in Finow, leading to its addition to Berlin's Royal Museums.

The artifacts currently reside in Moscow's Pushkin Museum, while visitors can examine detailed replicas at the Museum für Vor und Frühgeschichte in Berlin.

The collection represents Germany's largest prehistoric gold assembly, found buried one meter deep inside a clay vessel with a protective lid.
