ill. ; 29 cm

The paper presents a new discovery of a spur of the Lutomiersk type from the Sambia Peninsula. This is the second finding of this type from the former Old Prussian area. The authors have brought closer the history of research and previous discoveries of spurs of this kind. Until recently, these artefacts were considered to be saddlebow fittings. Now we know that they are rare ceremonial spurs. In the past, the southern Ural, Scandinavia and the Baltic area were indicated as the area of their origin. In the latest works, there is a conviction that these spurs should be connected with Western Slavs, especially with the early Piast rule. The spur goad presented in the paper confirms the intense cultural contacts of the early Piast state with the West Baltic culture
