Abstract
In 2021, the Museum of Brno, p. o., acquired into its collections a copper anthropomorphic figurine found during a detector prospection. The find comes from the area of the southeastern part of the Pohořelice suburb, in the "Bažantnice" area.
Probably female sculpture depicts a figure in a long robe with a crown or ornament on her head. The figure holds her left arm bent at the side and is topped with a hole, probably used for riveting another piece.
The right hand is damaged. From the formation of the back of the sculpture, it is evident that the lower part was hollow, whether it formed a closed tube or a semi-closed shape.
Elemental analysis of the object, taken from depth, was carried out by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, it was found that the alloy is composed of multiple 99% copper and less than 1% lead. A small figurative sculpture with thin arms has been until now unknown in Moravia.
The exclusion method and knowledge of contemporary we limit the find to the Hallstatt period. Unique analogues can be found south of our territory in Austria or Etruscan Italy.
