The
paper deals with the place of late antique bracelets with knobs in the
funerary costume. There is an established opinion in the scientific community
now, that such products were not used as bracelets, but were exclusively
amulets. The main argument for such a conclusion is the absence of examples
of fixing these items on the hands of the buried. Archival sources and
publications of complexes with such bracelets were studied, and plans and
descriptions of graves were considered to revise this assessment. It was
clearly shown as a result of the study, that there are known cases of finding
bracelets with knobs on the hands of the buried, which allow us to interpret
them as bracelets. |
