The Gate of Gold was one of the Seven Gates giving access, in the Orfalch Echor, to the hidden city of Gondolin. It was manned by Elven guardsmen.
It was in appearance similar to the Gate of Silver but made of gold instead of silver. The low wall was made of yellow marble and were the six spheres upon it. Within the spheres was a golden pyramid that had the likeness of Laurelin upon it. The gate's parapet was of red gold.[1]
