Summary/Abstract: One of the almost unknown treasures, discovered in Romania, was found in Prahova County. The exact place of origin has not been specified and cannot be identified. It was part of the collection of Dr. G. Severeanu and is now kept at the Bucharest Municipality Museum. It consisted of three earrings and a medieval ring. All the ornaments of the head and the ring are decorated in the technique of granulation and filigree. From a chronological point of view, the pieces belong to the 13th-14th centuries, and their origin is most likely a Balkan one.It is possible that several fragments from another earring belonged to the same hoard, but the information is less certain.
