Dokumentiranje in analiziranje bronastodobnih kosov orožja, odkritih na območju srednje in jugovzhodne Evrope, je pokazalo, da precejšnje število tistih poprej opredeljenih kot deli čelad dejansko pripada okrašenim diskom s primerljivim okrasom. Okras na teh predmetih je narejen z iztolčenimi bunčicami, ki tvorijo eno ali več linij dotikajočih se lokov, povezanih v krog oziroma zvezdasti motiv. Pod loki so včasih dodatne iztolčene bunčice, obdane z enim ali več krogi, t. i. puncirani krožci, celoten motiv pa je lahko obdan z enim ali več iztolčenimi krogi. Tak okras najdemo na različnih vrstah predmetov, razen na okrašenih diskih in čeladah tudi na bronastih in keramičnih posodah. Prispevek predstavlja te predmete ali samo njihove odlomke in prinaša razpravo o njihovem izvoru, razprostranjenosti in tipologiji.Analyses and documentation of Bronze Age armour pieces from eastern and central Europe revealed that a considerable number of fragments previously attributed to helmets were in fact parts of discs with comparable decoration. The latter consists of single or multiple embossed lines shaped into conjoining arcs arranged in a circle and forming a star. The arcs are sometimes filled with small embossed pellets surrounded by a single or multiple rings, termed ring-and-dot decoration. The whole might be surrounded by either a single or multiple embossed rings. The article presents all the bronze cups, helmets and discs, including fragments, as well as ceramic vessels that are decorated with this star motif; it also discusses and defines their origin, distribution and typolog
