Abstract

The paper discusses a bronze pendant in the form of an embraced human couple. Though said to have been found in Jaroměř, Eastern Bohemia, the artefact clearly belongs to a well defined group of pendants produced in the 9th-8th c.

BC in Southern Italy. The paper discusses typological determination, chronology and iconography of the artefact as well as the problematic question of its authenticity.
