A scholarly archaeological study published in Paris by Gide in 1860, written by Count Ferdinand de Lasteyrie du Saillant to describe the Guarrazar treasure of Visigothic Spanish medieval jewelry for antiquarians and historians. Its plates show the gold crowns, crosses and pendants in careful line and watercolour, with sapphires, pearls and drop-shaped stones set in openwork and filigree bands that a designer could use for ornamental borders or jeweled motifs.
