Photograph of the cremated grave herald of novelties 31
number 9 from Srednica.
placed linear and curved elements executed with incision and in high relief included in to a group concentrat-
ed mostly around the Danube Knee in today’s Hungary. It’s in relief shaped construction elements as the rein-
forcement clasp and decorative buttons on the scabbard, link it to a smaller group of similar swords spreading
from Graz basin in Austria to Lake Balaton in Hungary and to the territory of Ptuj in the south.
Standard equipment of a warrior from the middle of 4th century BC was consisting also from an iron fibula, a
larger knife and a pottery set. The fibula was made from wire and had a massive knob on the foot which was flat-
tened to a disc shaped form in our case. The ceramic set consisted always from an oval vessel with an elongat-
ed narrow neck, considered being a container for liquids, and a smaller bowl. They were not only reflections of
libation offerings performed during the burial, but most probably a part of belief in afterlife where the warrior
will, in his full attire again toast to his fellow trawlers with whom he passed the long way from the Danube to
the Drava plains.
