Sažetak
In the river Sava, near the settlement of Donja Varoš not far from Stara Gradiška, an unusually well-preserved helmet was found of east-Celtic or Novo Mesto type. It consists of an iron calotte to which protective bronze forehead and neck guards were attached with iron rivets. A moulded bronze reinforcement runs along the middle of the calotte, ending in representations of human masks and triskels. Bronze cheek pieces decorated with a water bird and rivets hang from the sides of the forehead guard. The forehead and neck guards also have rivets with cross-shaped incisions and traces of red enamel. The helmet is assumed to have been a sacrificial offering. It is dated to the earlier part of the Late La T&egrave ; ; ne culture and was probably made in a workshop in upper Posavina or Dolenska in the area inhabited by the Mokronog group of the Taurisci.
