ponad lekko wygiętą na zewnątrz krawędź wznosi się kabłąkowaty uchwyt ozdobiony trzema gwoździowatymi trzpieniami; podobny uchwyt prawdopodobnie był umieszczony symetrycznie na przeciwległej, wyłamanej części krawędzi; wzdłuż największej wydętości brzuśca znajdują się dwie równoległe, wypukłe listewki, prawdopodobnie imitujące sznur; w blasze kotła widoczne ślady napraw uszkodzeń powstałych w czasie użytkowania; patyna szlachetna pokrywa kocioł na prawie całej powierzchni

Popularizing note

The object found its way into the museum's collection in the interwar period. Unfortunately, like most of the collections of that time, it is devoid of any official record. It probably comes from the area of western Ukraine. It can be dated to the 1st century AD. It is assumed that it was made by people of the Sarmatian culture. Such artefacts are often found in the barrow graves of the Sultan phase of this culture.The massive cauldron was made of bronze. It has a slightly curved outward edge. Above it rises a bow handle decorated with three nail-like pins. The second handle, probably symmetrically placed on the opposite edge, has not survived and has been broken off. Along the widest part of the belly there are two parallel convex strips. They probably imitate string. The bottom has the form of a high foot.On the surface of the cauldron one can see traces of repairs of damages made during use. The whole boiler is covered with green patina.The discovery of the relic far from the original seats of the Sarmatians may indicate the functioning of long-distance trade directed to the west. The Sarmatians belonged to nomadic peoples. Their lifestyle and economy were connected to pastoral animal husbandry. From the 3rd century BC they inhabited the area between the Don and the Black Sea. During their westward migration they displaced the Scythians, reaching the Danube, the borders of the Roman Empire, at the end of the 1st century BC.
