DiaporamaThe Čurug Hoard
The motifs on the jewelry from the Čurug hoard – especially those on silver fibulae and open bracelet with each end bearing a backward folded snake head – are typical of Illyrian ornamental design. One detail, however, led to this significant hoard to be attributed differently: a bronze backward bent-foot fibula. Fibulae, as part of clothing, were important signs of ethnicity, thus the fibula in question pointed to the hoard being Celtic and dating back to the beginning of their settling in the Pannonian Plain. The hoard could be attributed to the Breuci and Amantini tribes – both culturally quite close to the Illyrians – who inhabited the areas of present-day Srem and Slavonia, but Bačka as well, as the hoard of Čurug testifies.
