This type of bronze are small cast and decorated objects from the beginning of the Iron Age (first millennium BC) that have been found in large numbers.
They include a large number of ornaments, tools, weapons, horse accessories, and a smaller number of vessels, including situlae, and are characterized by a great variety of idiosyncratic shapes and a highly stylized design of human and animal representation. The objects from recorded excavations were generally found in graves. They have been excavated in considerable quantities by local populations and are now found in most of the world's major museums.
