Ceramic Aachenhorn from a deserted medieval village in the cadastre of Kralice na Hané, Prostějov district, central Moravia

Abstract

The article presents the find of a ceramic pilgrim horn from the deserted medieval village of Rakousky in the cadastre of Kralice na Hané, Prostějov district, Central Moravia, a site that provides a reliable find context. The artefact is the first positively identified specimen of its kind in Moravia and one of the few from the Czech lands as a whole. The publication of the find expands the known spectrum of devotional (and other) artefacts of Aachen origin and, on a general level, illustrates the piety and, above all, the high mobility of medieval man.
