The Tesorillo del Cabezo Redondo is a gold hoard discovered in the spring of 1963 at Cabezo Redondo, an Argaric culture settlement located 2 km from the city of Villena (Alicante).
It consists of 35 pieces of personal adornment, including a diadem, rings, bracelets, pendants, beads from a necklace, spirals, bands, and a small gold ingot, totaling 150 g in weight. It is believed that these items belonged to a goldsmith, as suggested by the presence of the ingot. There has been significant speculation regarding its close relationship with the Treasure of Villena.[1]
