Summary

Description
Español: (R)ECCESVINTHUS REX OFFERET es la frase formada por letras colgantes en esta corona votiva del siglo VII y de unos 21 cm de diámetro localizada en Guarrazar, un yacimiento visigodo de Toledo. El llamado tesoro de Guarrazar se encontró el 25 de agosto de 1858 por parte de Francisco Morales y María Pérez. Según su testimonio iban por un camino y vieron algo que brillaba entre unas losas, aparentemente descubiertas por una gran tormenta del día antes. El "tesoro" estaba formado por varias coronas (más de veinte), cruces, cálices y otros objetos de oro y gemas en una arqueta. Tras varias ventas clandestinas, un lote de piezas fue vendido al gobierno de Francia a principios de 1859. En 1941 se hizo un canje de obras que supuso la entrega a España de seis de las nueve coronas que integraban esta parte del conjunto. Actualmente se exponen en el Museo Arqueológico Nacional en Madrid. Un segundo conjunto se mantuvo oculto por otra familia durante más de dos años, durante los cuales llegaron a desmontar y vender más de tres cuartas partes de las piezas. En 1861 le entregaron a la reina Isabel II las pocas piezas que quedaban, entre las que estaba una corona ofrecida por el rey Suintila que fue robada en 1921 sin que se haya vuelto a saber de su paradero. Parte del texto anterior se ha tomado de www.guarrazar.com/ donde hay una extensa información sobre estas piezas.
English: A)ECCESVINTHUS REX OFFERET is the phrase formed by hanging letters in this votive crown from the seventh century and about 21 cm in diameter located in Guarrazar, a Visigothic site in Toledo. The so-called treasure of Guarrazar was found on August 25, 1858 by Francisco Morales and María Pérez. According to their testimony they were on a road and saw something that shone among slabs, apparently discovered by a great storm the day before. The "treasure" consisted of several crowns (more than twenty), crosses, chalices and other gold objects and gems in an chest. After several clandestine sales, a batch of pieces was sold to the French government in early 1859. In 1941, an exchange of works was made that meant the delivery to Spain of six of the nine crowns that made up this part of the complex. They are currently exhibited at the National Archaeological Museum in Madrid. A second set was kept hidden by another family for more than two years, during which they even dismantled and sold more than three quarters of the pieces. In 1861 they gave Queen Elizabeth II the few remaining pieces, among which was a crown offered by King Suintila that was stolen in 1921 without his whereabouts having been heard again. Part of the previous text has been taken from www.guarrazar.com/ where there is extensive information about these pieces.
