Mycenaean gold diadem from grave circle A, grave III, c. 2nd half 16th century BCE. A total of nineteen bodies of men, women, and children buried here, with two to five bodies per shaft. It has been suggested that a mound was constructed over each grave, and funeral stelae were erected. Among the funerary gifts found were a series of gold death masks, full sets of weapons, ornate staffs, gold jewelry, as well as gold and silver cups. The funerary gifts found here are more precious than that of those at Grave Circle B. The site was excavated by the archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann in 1876. On display at Athens Archaeological Museum.
