Summary/Abstract: Rings of the type 36 Giesler were found in the discoveries from the turn of the 1st millenium in three versions: 36 a - 36 c, decorated with incised circles with a central point. The ring decoration also occurs on other artifacts from the 10th-11th centuries: leaf (lamellar) bracelets, diamond shaped bracelets and plates of reflex arc. These types of rings frequently occur in combination with the forms 4, 6, 8, 12, 13, I-II, 10 a-b, 1 b, 17 a and 31 Giesler. The 36 Giesler rings may be dated in the second half of the 10th century and the first half of the 11th century in the funerary finds from Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Bosnia, Croatia, Austria, Transylvania and Banat.
