Summary/Abstract: The article deals with an interesting brooch found during building of a navigation channel in 1903, southeast from village Hořín (distr. of Mělník). At first sight the brooch appears to be of type Almgren 24. However, its further examination has shown that it could rather belong to an older group of brooches, specifically Kostrzewski M-b or Almgren 18. Our brooch can thus probably be considered a mixture of all these brooches. Near parallels can be found mainly in the area of Lower Elbe. This brooch could also be an import.
