The Late Bronze Age cache from Veliki Mo\u0161unj near Vitez, discovered in 1913, contains exclusive and diverse artefacts, decorative in purpose. The luxurious, high quality craftsmanship points to high value, and the objects likely belonged to a local individual of high social standing and served as status symbols.<\/p>\n
The most representative finding in the cache is this bronze short-sword with a full metal tang and a matching bronze scabbard of the Veliki Mo\u0161unj type. All of the articles found at this site have lavish geometric decorations which feature the most prominent motifs of the western Balkan geometric style, most commonly, two rows of cross-hatched triangles which create a negative zig-zag pattern in the form of a ribbon. Because of the decorative style characteristic of the central Bosnian cultural group in the Late Bronze Age, it is assumed that the Veliki Mo\u0161unj findings originate from a local workshop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":26987,"template":"","section":[],"class_list":["post-26986","item","type-item","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\n
