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.
