This skull of an Ancient Greek girl with a ceramic flower wreath, has been dated circa 400 to 300 B.C.

Her skull’s wreath bears fruits and myrtle flowers.
Some of the flowers have also been gilded, and others are in a variety of colours.

Four crowned skulls were found altogether, in the North Cemetery in Patras.
The two little girls and two women, were from the Hellenistic Period.

Her skull currently resides in The New Archaeological Museum of Patras in Greece.
