Description
English: Lombard goldsmith's grave goods from Poysdorf, Grave 6
  • Poysdorf, District of Misteldorf, Lower Austria

Disturbed burial of a goldsmith positioned stretched out on his back, with weapons and tools as grave goods. Together with the goldsmith's grave of Brno-Kotlářská and the smith's grave from Kölked-Feketekapu A, this is one of the extremely rare smiths' graves of the Migration Period. Especially noteworthy are the two bronze models for producing casting molds for the characteristic Lombard S-shaped fibulae.

1. Small stake anvil of iron.
2. Two iron hammers.
3. Iron smith's tongs.
4. Iron file rod with right-angled bronze ring for holding and clamped bronze strips.
5. Iron padlock.
6. Bronze tweezer.
7. Two bronze models of an S-shaped fibula and a fibula in the shape of an animal head with a rectangular top plate with five knobs.
8. Touchstone for testing the degree of purity of metals.
9. Four-sided iron file with wood remains from the handle.
