Among the artefacts from the tribal period of the Early Middle Ages found in the passage of the Bronze Age barrow (the Trzciniec culture) at Haliczany, district Chelm, is a small gilt bronze belt fitting. Objects of similar type and decoration have been found in Germany (Mockersdorf) and Scandinavia (Birka, Gr. 825). Dated to the 9th century, these artefacts should not only be classified as belt mounts, but even perhaps as a peculiar form of strap-ends. Most probably the belt fitting from Haliczany came from the Eastern part of the Carolingian Empire; thus it must be assumed to mark the outermost Eastern periphery of the zone of Carolingian imports in Poland.
