Abstracts

EN

The earliest form of this jewellery was the multiple S-ended rings, and its role was earring. After the late Avar period, this fashion changed and became the ‘lockenring’, and the multiple S ends transformed in a simple S form. The earliest finding sites are around the Lake Balaton (e.g. Keszthely, Kereki, Badacsonytomaj). This earring fashion appeared among the Moravian Slavs in the Morava and Thaya river valleys, and later almost everywhere among the Western Slavs. The beginning of this jewellery is in the Middle Avar period (last quarter of the 7th c.).
