The protocol of the metal analysis states: "The fragments are made of copper-tinzinc (Cu-Sn-Zn) alloy. The fragments can be parts of the same object. Although the analysis was performed on the surface the standard deviation values show no significant differences." Fragments Inv. No. 64.8. 7., 64. 8. 8., 64. 8.9., 64. 8.12., 64. 8.14., 64. 8.15. were analyzed. The protocol is dated on March 27, 1993 and stored in BTM archive (No. 1743/94).

The sample preparation was done in the laboratory of the National Museum while the analysis was performed at the Research Institute for Technical Physics of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. The sample preparation, analysis and evaluation is done by Márta Járó, the analyzer is operated by Attila Tóth. Their valuable contribution is greatly acknowledged. Short description of the method is the following: 'The samples fixed by synthetic resin were polished in order to get a smooth surface to be analyzed. The surface was then coated by graphite and the analysis was done by Energy Dispersive X-ray Microanalysis." Fragments Inv. No. 64. 8. 7. and 64. 8. 12. were analyzed. The protocol is dated on May 31, 1993 and stored in BTM archive (No. 1744/94). 11. KELLNER 1978,13-16, Tables 10-16. 12.
