Abstract

This paper discusses the rare find of Breverls in early modern cemeteries. Their origins, usage and manner of wearing are explained, and compared to similar finds published in foreign scientific literature. All 14 Breverls discussed here are of smaller sizes than usual. Their average dimensions are between 20 x 20 and 30 x 30 mm. Special emphasis has been given to eight Breverls found during archaeological excavations of the cemetery around the shrine of Our Lady of the Mountain in Lobor, because of their specific shape and decoration style.
