The original Braganza Brooch is an exceptionally elaborate piece of gold jewellery, probably made by a Greek goldsmith for a Celtic or Celtiberian patron on the Iberian Peninsula around 250–200 BC. It depicts a warrior wearing a helmet and carrying a sword and shield, with a hunting dog leaping towards him. The brooch once belonged to the collection of the Portuguese royal House of Braganza and is now held in the British Museum in London.
