Abstracts

EN

The aim of the paper is to draw attention to a newly discovered locality Balatonalmádi-Felsőhegy, where some Late Avar findings were found in winter 2019. One of them was a fitting in shape of boar head, which with other new findings of this type from Hungary is analysed and put in our earlier published typology. The ‘boar’ on horse harness had its meaning in Late Avar society or in military hierarchy, but its precise content is uncertain.
