EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning image showcases the Puabis Diadem and Headdress, an exquisite piece of ancient jewelry discovered in the Royal Graves of Ur, Iraq, during the 1928 excavation led by Sir Leonard Woolley. The Puabis Diadem, also known as the "Golden Cap," is a magnificent golden headdress adorned with intricately designed leaves, rings, and other decorative elements. The headdress is believed to have been worn by queens or high-ranking women in ancient Chaldean society. The Puabis Diadem and Headdress are considered among the most significant treasures unearthed in the Royal Graves of Ur, which were the tombs of several ancient rulers of Ur, an important Sumerian city-state in ancient Mesopotamia. The discovery of these treasures provided valuable insights into the fashion, wealth, and cultural practices of the eastern world during ancient times. The Puabis Diadem and Headdress are made of gold and are intricately decorated with various motifs, including leaves, rings, and other geometric patterns. The headdress is believed to have been crafted during the Late Jemdet Nasr or Early Dynastic period, around 3000-2900 BC. The diadem and headdress were likely worn together, with the diadem encircling the forehead and the headdress resting on top. The Puabis Diadem and Headdress are a testament to the rich cultural heritage of ancient Iraq and the intricate craftsmanship of its people. The discovery of this magnificent piece of jewelry, along with other treasures, has shed light on the history and fashion of the ancient eastern world and continues to captivate scholars and history enthusiasts alike.
