Subiect: „Archaeological investigations carried out in recent decades in the Carpathian-Dniester area has brought to light a significant number of early medieval artifacts that attest to the presence in the Middle Dniester region (fig. 1/1), along with the settlements of the local Romance population, of a group of sites with direct analogies in Scandinavian antiquities. Among the Northern European artifacts there are items from the category of Scandinavian applied arts of the Viking period. In the study we analyze two types of round pendants made by casting or pressing, with an openwork or solid surface, decorated with interlaced band-sheped animal motifs, or in the form of a hemispherical shield with a central umbo, decorated with granulation or filigree.”
