Hungarian gold at the time of the landnam (10th century)

Grave finds and written sources suggest that during the first half of the 10th century, the Hungarians owned plenty of silver and gold. Until now, around 1500 sites are known, but from only 70 are there gold objects. Mostly these are rings from both male and female burials, followed by simple gold wire earrings, which are characteristic for male burials. Women’s clothing was decorated with sheet gold fittings, which were lozenge-shaped along the collar and rosette-shaped on the caftan. Gold strips could be sown onto the hem, as is also attested for men. Clothing fitted with such metal ornaments was considered particular ostentatious and perhaps reached Hungary in the form of gifts brought by emissaries. In male graves, belts with cast and sheet gold fittings probably functioned as indicators of rank. In addition, high-status individuals also wore neck-, arm- and ankle rings made from precious metals. However, in the 10th century real wealth was reflected in the hoards of northern and eastern Europe - yet this category of finds is missing from the settlement area of the early Hungarians.
