Furthermore, were found in the container 6 Knotenarmringe, fragments of a decorated neck collar, 1 razor with an S-shaped handle and one medium-sized Lappenbeil, all of bronze .

With its strong shoulder profile, the vessel has counterparts in Thuringian shoulder bulge vessels. The decoration of humps and grooves points to the area of Lusatian culture .
