GRAB 561. M. 10. Jhdt. Innerhalb eines 5-eckigen Platzes, den grössten Teil des Rumpfes bedeckend, wurden Teile von Gold- und Silberdraht gefunden, der letztere verwittert und über den ganzen Raum verstreut. Erhalten ist: Goldschuss eines Brettchenbandes, B 23, 2 Sorten; 2 flache Knoten, P 17; 2 Gleitknoten, P 23, aus Spiralgold (wahrscheinlich beim Wetzstein); Reste von Spiralsilber, die sowohl von einem Knoten wie P 22 wie auch von einer einfachen Flechte herrühren.

GRAVE 561. Male. 10th century. Within a pentagonal area, covering the largest part of the torso, parts of gold and silver wire were found, the latter weathered and scattered throughout the entire space. Preserved are: gold weft of a tablet-woven band, B 23, 2 types; 2 flat knots, P 17; 2 sliding knots, P 23, made of spiral gold (probably near the whetstone); remains of spiral silver, which originate both from a knot like P 22 as well as from a simple braid.
