Gold laurel wreath. The wreath is composed of two lengths of hollow gold wire connected at the front by a hook and eye clasp. The wire overlaps at the back of the wreath and the terminals are formed to imitate the broken ends of twigs. Soldered to the wire are stems containing 89 laurel leaves and 25 laurel berries.
