Gold Collar's, Druid's, and the Egyptian's

The gold collars, are to be believed to come from the Bronze age, to what race of people these belonged to is hard to say, because as far as I know, we don't have any written are recorded history to whom they belonged to, "More than 100 are known from western Europe, of which more than 80 have been found in Ireland."

A Late Bronze Age gold collar from Gleninsheen, Co. Clare, it dates from c. 900-700 BC




An Early Bronze Age gold lunula from Ross, Co. Westmeath, it dates from c. 2000 BC 
The crescent-shaped lunula, with expanded horn terminals set at right angles to the plane of the crescent, is the most characteristic gold object of the Irish Early Bronze Age.

These Gold Collars from Egypt share a similar design,

Tutankhamun's mummy was equipped with all these gold-sheet collars of the traditional 'Usekh' 'broad or wide' type, some of them have a counterpoise. Ancient Egyptian Jewels, Egyptian National Museum, Cairo, Egypt



This model collar of wood, gilded and engraved with representations of small beads in rows, echoing an actual example, was found on the chest of Hapiankhtifi's mummy




What's the Druids got to do with gold collars, from doing some research on the druids I found an old video, online of Queen Elizabeth II, at Mountain Ash, Wales. Princess Elizabeth becomes a bard in an ancient Welsh ceremony, but what's striking is what the Druid Priest is wearing around his neck.
