In the art of making jewelry the ancient Greeks had no equal. Particularly delightful are the wreaths made from gold foil, which are elaborate replicas of ancient plant wreaths. It seems incredible, but today's craftsmen still cannot unravel and repeat all the techniques and technologies used by ancient jewelers. Fortunately, time has preserved some of these fragile masterpieces for us, and today we have the opportunity to enjoy their extraordinary beauty.

In Greece, for a long time, winners were given wreaths made from branches of sacred trees, which were considered an expensive and valuable gift. Athletes, winners of competitions, were honored with an olive wreath, musicians and poets were awarded a laurel wreath, a sign of the special patronage of Apollo. Rulers and outstanding generals were awarded a wreath made of oak branches, the sacred tree of Zeus. Women and girls from aristocratic families decorated their heads with elegant wreaths made of myrtle, the tree of the goddess of love Aphrodite. Ivy and grapes are associated with the cult of Dionysus.

But later, for royalty, as well as for performing religious rituals, they began to make wreaths from sheet gold. A special decree was issued regarding the right to wear such a wreath, and it was awarded during major holidays.

As a result of the victories and conquests of Alexander the Great, gold became abundant in Greece, and soon luxurious wreaths made of this metal became available to many wealthy members of the nobility. Golden wreaths emphasizing status and social status their owners were passed down from generation to generation. Sometimes they were given to temples as offerings to the gods.

The Golden Age of Greece began, when jewelry making technologies reached new level. The skill of ancient Greek jewelers reached incredible heights; their work technique was distinguished by amazing grace.

The craftsmen managed to very skillfully imitate the branches of real plants, and they reproduced not only the shape of the leaves, but even the patterns of their veins. Usually wreaths were made by connecting two branches in a Herculean pattern. Each leaf was attached to the petiole using a thin wire. In addition to leaves, berries and flowers, also made of gold, were often used to decorate wreaths. The most common were golden laurel wreaths.

But there were also others - myrtle, olive, ivy, oak and grape wreaths of amazingly fine workmanship.

Such wreaths were preserved mainly in the tombs of royalty and nobility of that era as funeral gifts.

The most famous golden wreaths were discovered during excavations of a mound with royal burials in Vergina, where the ancient Macedonian capital was once located.

One of them was found in the tomb of Alexander the Great's father, Philip II. This massive gold oak wreath is made from 313 the thinnest leaves and 68 acorns weigh 730 grams.

Another incredibly beautiful wreath, a myrtle wreath, belonged to one of his wives, Meda.

Seeing it in a dream or putting it on means great happiness and early marriage. A wreath of laurel leaves - to glory and honor; a wreath of flowers portends love worries. A wreath of oak leaves promises success in a risky venture, winning at a race, casino or lottery. A golden crown on the head means honors and big changes in life. Such a dream also foreshadows your friendship with a rich and influential person. For poor people, a dream about a golden crown predicts troubles and misfortunes. Sometimes a dream predicts the revelation of a secret.

Myrtle wreath means happiness in love and happy marriage; a wreath of palm leaves promises quick marriage for single people, and happiness in the home and healthy children for married people. For the rest, the dream predicts promotion and benefits. If you put a wreath on someone in a dream, then you have to reconcile two friends. If in a dream you see and lay a wreath on a coffin, then expect to receive an inheritance after death close friend or a relative. Married woman a dream about a wreath being placed on her head predicts that she will have twins. Carrying a wreath in your hands predicts that you will soon take part in a ceremony where you will be the guest of honor. Wearing a wreath on your head in a dream means that you enjoy the respect and love of others. A bride's wreath in a dream means a happy turn in difficult task. A wreath of flowers in your dream predicts short-lived infatuation and short-lived joy. If the flowers in the wreath have withered or fallen off, then your love will soon end. See interpretation: flowers. A wreath of violets is considered a harbinger of death, while a wreath of roses is considered a harbinger of happiness. A wreath of lilies is a sign of hope and unexpected honors, and a wreath of dry grass is a sign of illness healthy person or death of the patient. See interpretation: funeral, crown.

The dream of millions of people around the world is to find something valuable in an old cardboard box under their bed (in the basement, attic, garage, or maybe not in a box). But the older people get, the less they dream of such finds: life experience suggests that treasures - under the bed or anywhere else - are, in principle, an unlikely thing. A modest pensioner from the town of Taunton in England certainly didn’t think about anything like that when he decided to sort out the old things he inherited from his grandfather.

One of the battered cardboard boxes, filled with yellowed newspapers, had been gathering dust under the bed in a small family cottage for several years. Before throwing away the old trash, the pensioner nevertheless opened the box and took out the newspapers, correctly reasoning that grandfather would not have stored cardboard and paper. An unusual item was found in the box, very similar to a wreath - the kind worn in ancient times by kings and emperors, and before them by the winners of ancient Greek sports competitions. The yellow metal of the wreath looked suspiciously like gold.

The British pensioner (who wished to hide his name from the general public) did not lose his presence of mind and did not torture himself with guesses. After all, what are the chances of finding an antique golden wreath under your bed if your grandfather was neither a Greek athlete nor a Roman emperor? That's right, no chance. During spring cleaning The pensioner discovered several more interesting items from his grandfather’s inheritance, so he decided to evaluate everything at once, including the strange item from the box. For an assessment, he called experts from Duke's auction house in Dorchester, from where Taunton is only 70 km away.

Then the story becomes even more mysterious. The British publication Mail Online, and after it other media outlets, quote the emotional stories of the owner of the wreath and appraiser from Duke's, Guy Swinge. However, neither one nor the other, despite the almost shock state, mentions the cost of the find. This is done for them journalists.

Here is the story of Duke's appraiser Guy Swinge: “When the owner pulled the wreath out of a tattered box of old newspapers, my heart almost jumped out of my chest. Going to Taunton, the last thing I expected to see was an ancient object made of gold. Such wreaths are extremely rare; they are almost never found in private hands. I’ve been working with antiques for a very long time, but this is the first time I’ve come across such an artifact.”

Swinge then reported the main characteristics of the artifact: “Such wreaths are very difficult to date accurately. Judging by the style and shape, it was made during the Hellenistic period in northern Greece. The diameter of the wreath is almost 20 cm, the weight is about 100 grams, the material is pure gold. The work "very thin, a skilled craftsman clearly worked on the wreath. For an object almost 2,300 years old, the condition of the artifact is very good."

Guy Swinge more than once appraised and sold antiquities that modest-looking British people had lying around - we're talking about about sums with many zeros. In this case, the expert was struck not by the cost, but by the rarity of the item.

It was not difficult to date the wreath, albeit with a spread of a couple of centuries. It is known that such golden wreaths were received greatest distribution in the Hellenistic period, that is, from 323 BC (the year of the death of Alexander the Great) to 31 AD (the time of the establishment of Roman rule in the territories once controlled by Alexander the Great and the Greek heirs of his empire).

Golden wreaths existed before - the most famous were found in Vergina, in the tomb of King Philip II of Macedon (father of Alexander) and one of his wives, Queen Meda. Philip's golden wreath is woven from 313 finest oak leaves and 68 acorns with a total weight of 730 grams. Meda's wreath is made of golden leaves and myrtle flowers of incredible beauty.

Works of art worthy of kings soon became available to a wider circle of people: after the eastern conquests of Alexander the Great, gold flowed into Greece like a river. Not only people could afford gold wreaths royal blood, but also wealthy representatives of the nobility.

Crowns made of yellow precious metal imitated more ancient wreaths made from real plants. IN Ancient Greece The winners of the Olympic and other major games were awarded with wreaths made of sacred leaves; wreaths had a sacred meaning in religious rites. It seems that all ceremonial wreaths were made from laurel - from ancient times to different languages such words and expressions as “laurel wreath”, “rest on laurels” and “laureate” have become entrenched. Indeed, they originate in the ancient Greek tradition of honoring outstanding people wreaths of laurel leaves. However, in reality, the choice of plants for wreaths was much wider, depending on the deity to whom a particular plant was dedicated. Oak - sacred tree Zeus (it’s not for nothing that King Philip’s wreath imitates oak leaves), laurel - the plant of Apollo, myrtle - Aphrodite, olive - Athena, ivy and grape leaves- Dionysus, herbs - Demeter.

However, in the 4th century BC, during the rise of ancient Macedonia, luxurious wreaths made of gold became widespread. Judging by where such wreaths are found - mostly in the tombs of kings and nobles of the Hellenistic era - the function of golden wreaths also changed: from a living symbol of triumph (wisdom, peace, fertility...) they became funerary gifts that could survive eternity. The geography of distribution of golden wreaths is from ancient Macedonia in northern Greece to southern Italy (Etruscans) and the Dardanelles in the east.

This information is well known to specialists in ancient art, and is also in open access. Guy Swinge, an experienced expert at a reputable auction house, took no risks when determining the age of the golden wreath from a cardboard box: 2000-2300 years.

An additional clue came from specks of dirt found on the Taunton wreath: apparently, this wreath had once been removed from someone's tomb. Probably female - the wreath is woven from golden leaves and flowers of myrtle, a plant of Aphrodite.
