Visogoth Votive Crown with Cross from Spain dated to the 7th Century on display at the Musée National du Moyen Âge in Paris, France

This was one of the many pieces of votive offerings excavated from the archaeological site in Guadamur in Spain. Part of the “Treasure of Guarrazar”, named after the orchid it was found in, it represents the Byzantine influences on Visogothic artwork but using Germanic manufacturing techniques.

The treasure was considered to have been hidden in the 8th Century due to the Umayyad conquest of Hispania and the destruction of the Visogothic Kingdom.
