Summary/Abstract: During the years-long systematic archaeological excavations in Novosel gathered a large group of bronze plates with a round shape with edge lines and a bird (peacock) to move left. Among the items the group ranks with a quality lead modeland several bronze castings, most of them waste products. Their size and shape have been very similar tile for single stamps, which was initially suspected. After finding of ring from silver alloy, their use was exactly determined. It is presented on the same image, which conclusively demonstrates the particular purpose of the circular plates, namely ring seals. My experience to find similar rings in known and accessible publication was failured. More interesting is that they are not found among the objects of the manufacturing centers in Zlatar and Nadarevo. Available data now indicate that they are produced mainly at the center in Novosel. All items origined there, including lead models.
