Golden Cone of Ezelsdorf-Buch
The Golden Cone of Ezelsdorf-Buch (German: Goldblechkegel von Ezelsdorf-Buch) is a Late Bronze Age artefact discovered in 1953 between the villages of Ezelsdorf (Middle Franconia) and Buch (Upper Palatinate) in Southern Germany. A tall (88 cm), cone-shaped object made of thin sheet gold, it is seen as belonging to a group of artifacts referred to as Bronze Age Golden hats. It was presumably worn by special functionaries on ceremonial occasions.
