The Triangle cemetery in Prague-Střešovice was the only preserved part of the great burial site from the 9th–10th century AD. Children's grave no. 16 was the richest of the children's graves. A total of 19 silver jewels were found in the grave: kaptorga – amulet container, beads, hollow spherical pendants – gombiks. A technical study was performed to describe the construction of the different types of jewels and identify the material used to manufacture them. A replica provided practical information about the time of realisation of each type of jewel. The set of jewellery comes from the production of the Prague workshop which enriched the tradition of Great Moravian jewellery with new elements inspired by cultural influences from the west, east and south.
