The pentagonal triangular pieces end in a ring. The base plate has been embossed with floral motifs. The central body is divided into five rectangles. Each of the rectangles has a central oval cabochon containing glass paste of different colours.
This diadem was among the pieces discovered by chance in 1977 in the vicinity of the hamlet of Charilla (Alcalá la Real, Jaén). No contextual information for it exists.
