Goods placed in Grave 54 of the urn cemetery at the Dvorišče SAZU
site in Ljubljana (9th century BC). The iron torques herald a new period, the Iron Age. As all other goods in the grave, the torques were
burnt on the pyre and are therefore poorly preserved. The bronze
bow brooch was a novelty in the Late Bronze Age that became very
fashionable in its later, Early Iron Age variants. The grave also held
bronze bracelets, a glass pearl, a ceramic pedestal dish and a birdshaped drinking horn.
