Summary

Description

The Treasure of Dush, found in Dush, Egypt, consists of a gold Diadem, two bracelets and a necklace of 187 gold plates. It was found compressed into a large case hidden in the wall of a Roman fort, not far from a temple dedicated to Serapis and Isis. It weighs 363 grams and was discovered in the Kharga Oasis, Egypt, in 1989 by French Egyptologists, and dates to the the 2nd Century AD Roman period. The diadem is decorated with vine leaves and branches within a temple facade, his right hand is on the head of the god Harpocrate.

Busts of the god Isis are surmounting the two columns and coming out of the two rosettes ending the decoration on both sides. A Gold crown with a stunning sculpture of the god Serapis and small busts of Isis & Harpocrates. This photo was personal taken by Elias Rovielo in 2018 at the Egyptian Museum.
