Description
Worn reproduction of gold showing two dueling warriors in intaglio. Much of the detail has been lost on the reproduction but the two figures and either a single shield divided into two compartments or two shields are discernable. One warrior appears to be wearing a crested helmet. The other warrior seems to have the upper hand and drives his sword into to his opponent's throat. This detail is clearer on the original, which was found in Grave Circle A at Mycenae. It was possibly part of a necklace originally.
