It is almost identical to
Almgren 137 - the form and the
head decoration are absolutely identical - only it has the 2nd knob on the foot where Alm. 137 does not.
Almgren 137 is an East Prussian find from the "Elbe
German" group circa 100-150. This would coincide with the Wielbark Culture who are though to be precursors of the Goths and other eastern
Germanic tribes.
Interesting to know what it is doing in SW Slovakia. Sign of a more easterly
German ally joining the locals during the Marcomannic wars? A trade item from the
north along the Amber Road?
Just guesses but unless anyone knows of more from Slovakia one would have to assume it is an import from the
north.
