In this paper the development of lion protome bracelets in Western Anatolia between the 10th and the 6th century BC will be examined. As examples the golden lion protome bracelet from Tumulus A in the Phrygian capital Gordion and the lion protome bracelet made of blue glass and gold from the Lydian Tumulus at Toptepe were chosen. The comparison of the two bracelets, which are quite different from each other, will include the questions of their dating, their contexts, their ownership, their manufacturing techniques and their centers of production. Especially from the discussion about the production centers arises the question whether these two bracelets were local or imported.
