Summary/Abstract: The article documents and discusses metal artifacts discovered in three tombs explored by a joint Polish–Sudanese team from the PCMA UW and the NCAM in the tumuli field at el-Zuma in Sudan (Fourth Nile Cataract region). The site has been investigated since 2005 within the framework of the Early Makuria Research Project. The metal finds were in differing states of preservation. A thorough analysis, however, led to the identification and interpretation of most of the finds, contributing to how the site is perceived from a social and cultural point of view.
