Here's the page with the Bosnian piece courtesy of a friend and fellow forumite.

Fascinating material, this is the sort of puzzle and detective work that make this forum a real joy to be a party of.

Salaams Iain ~ Excellent picture of the sword ~ Perhaps the write up can be included as a separate picture as it is split in half ? I wonder if the roundels on #1 and the roundels here are of the same design ? Roundels I believe were used to imply the wheels of a chariot in earlier times in the region.
