This paper aims to contribute to the broader understanding of the Brezapillar, a 6th century rune-find from Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the runic script in migrations-era Europe. This, through an analysis of the Brezapillar, the futhark-inscription on it and its find-site, a comporation of the Brezapillar with other European rune-finds from the same period, and a theoretical framework based in theories about identity, language and human reaction to social climate. This paper includes literature in more languages than has previously been used in research on the Brezapillar, aiming to bridge previous misunderstandings about it. The conclusions concern immaterial similarities between European migration-era rune-finds and the Brezapillar, dating and categorization of the inscription on the Brezapillae, the significance of the futhark as an inscription, and who carved the runes on the Brezapillar, as well as why.
