The discovery of a crescent‐shaped pectoral in a fourth‐century tomb near Katerini in Western Macedonia, analogous to that from the Great Tomb at Vergina, provides an opportunity to reassess this form of parade armour and to reexamine the chronology of a related series of warrior burials in Thrace and Macedonia. The pectorals are executed in a composite style which combines naturalistic and geometric patterns in low relief concentric zones. Apart from common zoomorphic and vegetal motifs, the ornamental repertoire includes elements specific to the Thracian region in the latter half of the fourth and early third century B. C
