Early medieval casting had deep traditions since the Bronze Age. If the Bronze Age was the golden age of bronze casting, the craft didn't die with the coming of iron. Metal casting still played an important social part in the production of jewellery and prestige objects, production of social codes telling about identity and belonging of sworn fidelity and of alliances.
