Headdress

Headdresses contain multiple items from wreaths and diadems to hair combs and rings. Most of these are made of precious metals and/or beads of semi-precious stone. Usually, the more elaborate the headdresses are, the higher the status of the person.

9811A	(none)	1928,1010.266	(none)	[A-F] Gold Ribbons. (6) All consist of long undulating coils, and are perforated at each end for attachment. 5 of these were found running at right angles to the diadem 9810 cf.
