This paper analyses two extraordinary finds of belt decorations from Černošice and Ratenice in the Middle Bohemia. The gilded massive decorated buckle with beak-like decorated tongue and a buckle-plate decorated by a motif of walking gryphon complemented by tendril in openwork has only one analogy of the gold fitting in Vrap (Albania, depot) – more than 1000 km away. It belongs to the Vrap-Erseke-Velino horizon from the first third of the 8th c. The incomplete openwork cooper-alloy fitting from Ratenice with a motif of a mythical beast (feline?) is also Byzantine in origin and could have gotten to Bohemia through Carpathian Basin, where similar stylization from the first half of the 8th c. rarely appears. On this site, fittings of Late Avar type were found. Both fittings enrich the older group of decorations with ties to the south and south-east and both were imported into Bohemia.

The unique round silver pendant with the motif of either an angel or an orant or a saint most probably comes from the polycultural settlement in the cadastre of Tatce, Kolín distr., in the fertile Elbe River region in central Bohemia. It was found in 2012. The pendant can be unequivocally interpreted as a Christian protective amulet. The finding broadens the range of items connected to the earliest Christianity in Bohemia during the 2nd half of 9th – 11th c.
