Abstract

Inside a child's grave was found an ithyphallic bronze pendant attached to a small bell. These amulets, which seem rather common in other places, appear to be very seldom found in the burial places of northern Gaul. This association, to which must be added a « pelta » — shaped holder, sets the question of a particular ritualistic meaning. Moreover, the furnishing of the grave was made of interesting models of common regional pottery of the IIIrd century.
