While working in the field, the farmer unexpectedly stumbled upon a "treasure" given by God.

According to ATI , while working on his family's field in January 2025, the farmer discovered an extremely rare "treasure" of A 2,500-year-old bronze necklace. At the time, the necklace was broken in two but could be pieced back together. Photo: Unsplash.

The necklace was later given to local officials. Analysis showed that it was made of bronze, crafted from a single metal bar, with a double groove. It dates back to around 2,500 years ago, during the late Bronze Age, also known as Hallstatt C. Photo: ATI.

Based on the date, experts believe the necklace was probably worn by someone from the Lusatian culture. It dates back to the transitional period between the Bronze Age and the Iron Age. Photo: ATI.

The necklace will undergo further metal analysis at the Institute of Archaeology at the Nicolas Copernicus University in Torún before being transferred to one of the region's museums. Photo: ATI.

The Hallstatt C period spanned from around 800 to 600 BC, a transitional period between the Bronze Age and the Iron Age. This period is associated with the Hallstatt culture, named after a famous archaeological site in Hallstatt, Austria. Photo: ATI.

During this period, the use of iron became more widespread and led to many advances in the production of tools and weapons. Photo: ATI.

The earliest iron objects found in Polish territories, including decorative pins, axes, swords and parts of horse harnesses, date from the Hallstatt C period. Photo: ATI.

These objects also highlight changes in Lusatian culture, especially in funeral rituals. The presence of richly decorated wooden tombs also suggests the development of social stratification and the rise of a social elite during this time. Photo: FB.
