Summary/Abstract: The article describes textile finds originating from an unidentified location in Złotów County, northern Greater Poland. A series of analyses for fabrics and their imprints discovered on two snake bracelets and a brooch, dated to the Roman influence period and associated with the Wielbark culture, were conducted at the Institute of Prehistory, Adam Mickiewicz University (September 2010–January 2011). It was determined that these were remnants of textiles made of linen (or another plant fiber) and sheep's wool. These were likely ‘exclusive" and well-crafted cloths in which the bracelets and brooch were wrapped.
