The Mramorac belts were Iron Age Mramorac style luxurious silver and gold belts used in ceremonial and religious aspects by the prominents of Triballi, a Thracian tribe then inhabiting the Pcinja District of southern Serbia and western Bulgaria. The belts are characterized by special patterns, including anthropomorphic, Zoomorphic and Swastika symbolism.
