Laurel wreath

A laurel wreath is a symbol of triumph, a wreath made of connected branches and leaves of the bay laurel, an aromatic broadleaf evergreen. It was also later made from spineless butcher's broom or cherry laurel. It is worn as a chaplet around the head, or as a garland around the neck.
