In this respect, we have analysed a bracelet type, three pieces of which are known from two sites of the Hungarian Plain: Szeged-Szőreg, Homokbánya (sand pit) and Endrőd, Kocsorhegy grave ЂϿ. Both burials dated to the 4th (possibly beginning of the 5th) century AD belonged to well-off women richly decorated with different kinds of silver jewellery including bracelets closing with a central part supplied with hinges and pin on both sides. Analogies of these bracelets come from Sarmatian burials of Crimea and other regions of the North Pontic. Technology of closing derives from the Hellenistic jewellery (diadems, necklaces), while the earliest such lock construction at bracelets is known from the early 1st century AD. They become widely spread in the Late Empire and then in the Byzantine times up to the 7th century. In the case of the specimens from Hungary, we suggest that they either arrived from the East or their shape and technology was overtaken from a North Pontic workshop.
