The Balkåkra Ritual Object is an item from the Bronze Age found in Balkåkra in Sweden in 1847. Its use and purpose remain unknown. HistoryThe object was found in a bog in Balkåkra socken close to Ystad in Scania, Sweden in 1847. It has been dated to {{circa}} 1500 – 1300 BC, i.e. early Nordic Bronze Age. A similar item was discovered in 1913 not far from Sopron in Hungary. It has been suggested that the object found in Balkåkra may have been imported from present-day Hungary and not produced locally.[1][2] DescriptionThe item consists of a round frame made of bronze perforated with holes and carried by ten wheels. A flat and loose bronze plate placed on top of it. The plate is decorated with zig-zag patterns.[2] The diameter of the plate is {{convert|42|cm|in}} and is slightly concave.[1] InterpretationIt is not known what purpose the item served, but it has been assumed that it had a ritual use. Suggestions have been made that it could have been a gong, a drum, a throne or a burning glass.[1][2] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web |url= http://samla.raa.se/xmlui/bitstream/handle/raa/2299/1977_129.pdf?sequence=1|title= "Balkåkratrumman"|last1= Freij|first1= Henry|last2= |first2= |date= 1977|website= |publisher= Swedish National Heritage Board|access-date= 2 October 2016|language=Swedish|quote=}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite web |url= http://historiska.se/upptack-historien/artikel/solen-och-stjarnorna/|title= Solen och stjärnorna|language=Swedish|last1= Ullén|first1= Inga|last2= |first2= |date= |website= |publisher= Swedish History Museum|access-date= 2 October 2016|quote=}} External links
