dragon hoard
Serpent's gold pile
A dragon hoard is a vast accumulation of treasure, from the legendary piles of gold and gems that dragons guard in myth and fantasy.
The term extends to any jealously guarded collection: She kept a dragon hoard of vintage records in her basement.
The image emphasizes both the immense quantity and the possessive, protective impulse of the collector.
