It really is breathtaking when you consider the primitive tools the goldsmith had, the scarcity of steel tools, and the absence of optical loupes or microscopes. Look at the perfectly concentric circles -- how could the goldsmith have done that? If it was a single punch, how did he get the circles on the punch so perfectly uniform and concentric? Look at the very fine "tail" at the end. How was that formed? And how something so delicate remain attached for so long?
Simply astonishing. I wouldn't even know where to begin to make such an object today.

"Bronze Age gold belt with 'cosmological' designs unearthed in Czech beet field" It's funny, isn't it? How does a belt like that wind up in a beet field? I can understand if it's found within the perimeter of an ancient building or even a settlement. I can hear it now...
Husband: "Honey...have you seen my gold belt? The one with the cosmological signs on it?"
Wife: "Were you wearing it when you were plowing the beet field yesterday?"
Husband: "Don't be silly. I world never wear it to plow. You know I only wear it on Sunday when we go to worship Morg, the Barley God."
Who knows...maybe it was a gravesite as mentioned in the article. Maybe the beet field WAS a settlement. I hope they follow thru on digging deeper.

IIRC, structures built with those shapes were called “spiral castles”

Does that make it a borscht belt?
