Abstract
The study of the manufacturing and decoration techniques of the earrings from the Pancas Treasure, dated between the 5th and 3rd centuries BC, demonstrated that the granulation and twisted wires were applied by brazing, and that the granules, both solid and hollow, were used in different mounting and decoration schemes. The characterization of the metal alloys and their comparison with chronologically older objects, such as the Ermegeira earrings and earrings of the same type but from the southern region of Spain, allowed us to conclude that the Pancas earrings are different within the set itself and that their composition corresponds to that of objects from the southern Iberian Peninsula, representative of the period of oriental influence.
