The emergence of craftsmanship during the Iron Age is a sign of a larger and more complicated society. This display case includes jewelry.
Another case includes a magnifying glass- handy for looking at its occupant, a finely crafted gold earring that still shows remarkable detail after all this time.
This case caught my eye. They were found in the grave of an Illyrian woman of high standing.
Ceremonial items in this display case would have belonged to a priestess of the Paeonian people.
This amber breast ornament was found in Croatia, where amber was a rarity.
That earring is amazing craftsmanship!
