This deliberately concealed hoard included fragments of spiral pendents, probably dating from between 2500-1500 BCE, buried together in a bronze bowl with small ingots, rings and scraps. It was buried in the 7th C. BCE. The earliest objects may have been found furing ancient grave robbing and were kept for their precious metal content. Tepe Nush-i Jan, western Iran. (135072-135085)
