Bronze collar

Urnfield culture (900 B.C.)

The bronze casted collar was discovered by chance in 1959 as a single find while digging holes for fruit trees in Pertoča. It is dated to the end of the Bronze Age, at the time of late Urnfield culture, named after the predominant burial mode – cremation burials. The collar is shaped like a crescent moon ending in terminals. It is decorated with shallow, diagonal grooves.

Specialist description

Bronasta vlita ovratnica je bila odkrita naključno kot posamična najdba ob kopanju jam za sadno drevje leta 1959 na Pertoči. Časovno jo umeščamo na sam konec bronaste dobe, v čas pozne kulture žarnih grobišč.
Ovratnica ima okrogel presek in nesklenjena konca, ki sta stanjšana. Okrašena je s plitvimi, drobnimi prečnimi žlebiči.
