lurer

In northern Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Norway, Bronze Age inhabitants manufactured many distinctive and beautiful artifacts, such as the pairs of lurer horns discovered in Denmark.

Examples include ceremonial bronze helmets, ornamental ax-heads and swords, elaborate instruments such as lurer, and other ceremonial objects without a practical purpose, such as the oversize Oxborough Dirk.

He writes, for example, that "the Germans and Japanese are opening huge automobile plants in America, and in states not famous for the excellence of their educational systems" - but Tennessee, the most successful lurer of plants, instituted a major school reform precisely to attract foreign auto manufacturers.
