The graves of nobles at the ancient Citadel of
Mycenae near Nauplion, Greece, discovered by
Heinrich Schliemann in 1876, yielded a great variety
of gold figurines, masks, cups, diadems, and jewelry,
plus hundreds of decorated beads and buttons. These
elegant works of art were created by skilled craftsmen
more than 3,500 years ago.
