Description
Bronze twisted torque from Ostrožnik in Mokronog. This cemetery
was excavated in the 1880s. Unfortunately, the groups of objects
from idividual graves were later mixed in the museum. Similar torques are commonly the goods in the rich graves of women and
sometimes girls from the end of the Late Bronze Age (9th–8th centuries BC).
