Find history

The depot was first mentioned in 1913. The date of the find, the circumstances of the find and the exact location are unknown.

composition

The depot consists of two bronze objects , both of which Tilmann Vachta classifies as eyelet neck rings , while Václav Moucha classifies them as an eyelet neck ring and a ring bar . Since the two pieces differ significantly in both their shape and their patina , it is unclear whether they were actually found together.
