The main subject of this article are fibulae AV 107–108, known only from the area of North European Barbaricum. There are 35 discovered objects of this kind of specimen so far, of which 31 are Norwegian imitations. The discussed brooches are generally dated to phase B2 – especially its later part. It should be noted, however, that a few specimens may occur within phase C1a. The currently used division of the AV brooches of series 6 type 107 and 108 does not seem to take into account typological criteria other than just a form of the transition between the upper part of the bow and the head-plate covering the spring. For this reason, a new classification has been proposed of the discussed fibulae into four variants: 107A, 107B, 108A and 108B. AV series 6 brooches are mainly made of bronze, occasionally of silver. They are often very richly decorated with thin plates, filigree or granulation of precious metals and usually come as a part of grave inventories of women of high social status.

In response to the new find of a small silver trapezoid casket - i.e. kaptorga - from the grave of female H 2103 from Hostivice-Palouky, we focused our paper on the small group of such amulet caskets from Central Bohemia, decorated with engraved animal motifs on a punched background and with a knot made with the assistance of a pair of compasses on their lids and dated to the 2nd half of the 10th century. The kaptorga from Hostivice belongs to the Bohemian openable construction type IA, and was decorated with an engraving of a pair of birds with their heads turned on eitherr side of a stylized tree of life with leaf-shaped tendrils. Most of the finds from Hostivice, Klecany II, Praha-Lumbe Garden were produced in Prague during the 2nd half of the 10th century.
