Abstract

In Headgear and Ornaments for Diadem in Gaya there was Conical Cap(or Pointed Cap), Feathered Cap(Trim), and Crown. It is presumed that the long baron, which seems to be common to the Conical Cap was used for religious purposes. Feathered Cap(Trim) is 3 types, General style( Feather type I: two wings are attached to the central plaque and Feather type II: Only a central plaque without wings) and Deformed Feathered Trim, Feathered diadem. Though Gaya women wore both type I and type II feathered caps, they preferred type II that only a central plaque was inserted to the cap. Diadems of Gaya are categorized into three types: a flowering-plant style diadem, a tree(山-overlapping) style diadem, and a tree-antler style diadem. A flowering-plant style golden diadem that was flowering-plant shaped ornaments standing at Diadems. Tree style diadems are categorized into four types depending on the form of standing ornaments and how they are standing. Branch style ornaments attached on the diadem and 3 triple-column tree style ornaments attached on the diadem and Same as front, but featuring special tree shapes and 5 triple-column tree style ornaments standing on the diadem. Tree-antler style diadem was 3 triple-column tree style standing ornaments and 2 antler style standing ornaments with a cross ornament additionally attached on the diadem. A halo style gilt bronze diadem is composed of a narrow diadem and a flat standing plaque that looks like a halo.
