The headpiece was made by Giovanni Corvaja, the Italian jeweller who is known for his experimentation with gold. He aimed to make gold wires so fine, that en masse they become as soft as fur. Not surprisingly I wasn't able to feel the piece but it certainly looked like it was as soft as fur.
I was also amazed by the very old pieces in the exhibition. How could they make those pieces, many hundreds of years BC?
