Take me by the hand; it´s so easy for you, Angel, for you are the road, even while being immobile. You see, I´m scared no one here will look for me again; I couldn´t make use of whatever was given, so they abandoned me. At first the solitude charmed me like a prelude, but so much music wounded me. -Rainer Maria Rilke

Ancient Greek gold wreath

Derived from wreaths of real leaves worn in religious ceremonies and given as prizes in athletic and artistic contests, gold wreaths were not meant to be worn but were definitely meant for display.

(Side note: looks like jewelry clasps haven’t really changed since 300 B.C.!)

Greek necklace with a butterfly pendant. Late 2nd-1st century BC (Hellenistic), made of gold, amethyst, chalcedony, emerald, rock crystal, pearl, and coloured glass.

Elaborate diadems or necklaces featuring centerpieces of inlaid stones, pendants, and beaded chains go back to 3rd- and 2nd-century Greek jewelry. This necklace was found on the neck of the deceased; as the symbol of the soul, the butterfly was an appropriate motif for a burial gift. (Walters)
