The Late-Medieval Spurs from the Collection of the National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina

Summary/Abstract: This paper sets aside and analyses the late medieval spurs from the medieval history collection of the National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The total of S3 spurs are studied, out of which 47 spurs are individual finds and only 3 are found in pairs. 41 of the spurs are discussed for the first time in this paper. Given the mostly unknown circumstances of discovering the finds, the main objective of the study was typological determination of the spurs. The analysed material is divided into two types with their respective variants. Based on the analogy found in the relevant body of literature, the paper suggests the approximate time periods wherefrom each of the variants date back. The established timeframe that the analysed material is dated to ranges from the 11th to the very end of the 15th century. Standing out in their number are especially the spurs whose stylistic¬ -typological features reflect a strong Hungarian influence, and that are dated to the I5th century. Based on a large number of variants and combinations of lypological elements, the author reaches the conclusion that this handicraft production, probably modelled after imported specimens, existed, developed and improved in the workshops within the Bosnian territory. Outstanding as a rich site is to date almost unknown location of Resanovci near Bosansko Grahovo. Seven spurs dated to the period from the end of the 13th or beginning of the 14th century to the very end of the 15th century, include the Resanovci Site for the first time on the map of medieval locations of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
