Hassle

Hassle (coord|59|21|N|15|22|E|) is a location in Närke, Sweden, where a Celtic treasure was found in 1936.

It comprises a large bronze cauldron which contained two Bronze Age swords of the Hallstatt type, a pommel of bronze, two bronze buckets with "ciste a cordoni", two small hooks of bronze and twelve large circular bronze plates with fittings of iron. All of the items were imported.

The cauldron belongs to a special kind of cultic cauldrons usually found in Italy and Greece, while the buckets are of a kind found in southern and central Europe.
