The Mramorac belts were Iron Age Mramorac style luxurious silver and gold belts used in ceremonial and religious aspects by the prominents of Triballi,[1] 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.

The type is named after Mramorac, a place in Serbia.
