Sažetak
Bronze rod-shaped pendants with annular head from Liburnian Asseria which are published in this paper belong to a type distributed from Bela Krajina (Črnomelj, grave 1, mound 1) over Lika (Stražbenica-Vrebac hill-fort, Kompoljegrave 62) to Bosnia (Ostrožac-Cazin, Gračanica) and Herzegovina (Donji Brštanik-Stolac). They were worn by women (and men?) in the eighth century BC, and also during the seventh century BC (Črnomelj, grave 1, mound 1), perhaps also later (Kompolje, gr. 62). Liburnian women, as well as Iapodean ones (grave from Ostrožac from the eighth century BC) probably wore them hung on a belt. In terms of shape, attachment to the belt (?), and their decorative and practical (?) function, these massive pendants are close to the objects which emphasize the identity of an individual/deceased person, such as: keys, “scepters“, spits, toilet instruments, pendantswedges; they are particularly close to the objects symbolizing domina in the Iron Age, and finally in the national costume from northern Dalmatia (Benkovac surroundings) from the 19th century they define the “mistress of the house“ with a “sindžir“ (chain) on the belt. If they were not exceptionally long-lasting element in the conservatism of the Liburnian culture, analyzed pendants could contribute to filling of a great gap in understanding archaeological material and life of Liburnian Asseria before the fifth
century BC.
