Over two hundred samples of </span><span>openwork bronze buckles are known at present. They seem to have been mass </span><span>produced. Buckles have either been unearthed in graves (wide necropolises or </span><span>separate burials) or discovered accidentally.</span>}, number={5}, journal={KADMOS}, author={Gabashvili, Mariam}, year={2015}, month={Jul.}, pages={118–152} }
