Laurel wreath

A laurel wreath is a circular band made from intertwined branches and leaves of the laurel tree, historically associated with victory, achievement, and honor in ancient Greece and Rome. It was awarded to victorious athletes, military commanders, and distinguished individuals as a symbol of success and excellence. The wreath's design often featured laurel leaves woven together, creating a crown-like appearance. Today, it remains a symbol of accomplishment and recognition, used in various ceremonial contexts such as academic and artistic awards.
