Pietroasa Treasure, Gothic treasure at National Museum of Romanian History, Bucharest, Romania.
The Pietroasa treasure contains twelve preserved gold artifacts, including fibulae, necklaces, a patera, and a pitcher, weighing approximately 20 kilograms total.
Local villagers discovered this fourth-century Gothic collection in 1837 within a large ring barrow near Pietroasele, leading to extensive archaeological research.
The artifacts display influences from multiple artistic traditions, incorporating Han Chinese, Hellenistic, Sasanian, and Germanic design elements within their decorations.
