Bracelet with spiral ends - Catalog No. 38

This bracelet is part of a hoard that consists of a total of twenty gold bracelets with tapering ends, of which nine are featured in the exhibition, and four heavy gold bracelets with spiral ends. The assemblage represents a characteristic deposition tradition that emerged in the territory of the upper Tisza region and Transylvania during the thirteenth century BC. These gold bracelet hoards show similarities in terms of object types, and they were most likely communal offerings of several individuals. János Gábor Tarbay
