A few observations on the adornments and dress accessories found in the hoard from Țifești (Vrancea County)
Silviu Oța
Sažetak
Found by chance in 1912, the hoard from Țifești (in the former
Putna County) immediately came to the attention of numismatists.
First published in 1915 by Constantin Moisil, it remained
in oblivion for a long time, at most barely mentioned in various
articles. The beginning of the First World War and the entry of
Romania in the middle of these events had, as a consequence,
the evacuation of the country’s treasure to Russia. After arriving
in Moscow, it was returned to the Romanian state in 1956.
The coins of the treasure came from both the Ottoman Empire
and Hungary. The Turkish coins (the akçe) were issued during
the reigns of Sultans Mehmed the Conqueror (1451 – 1481) and
Bayezid II (1481 – 1512). The coins issued in Hungary are from
the time of kings Matthias Corvinus (1459 – 1490) and Vladislaus
II (1490 – 1516). So far, they have not yet been published in
full. The buttons (seven) are manufactured of filigree silver wire
wrapped in the shape of a ball. The other two items, manufactured
of foil, are dress accessories rather common in the Middle
Ages, widely circulated both chronologically and territorially.
There are also parts of buttons which are not mentioned in the
article published in 1916. The adornments consist of two pairs
of silver earrings manufactured in the filigree and granulation
techniques. In the case of the items from Țifești, they are dated
to the second half of the 15th century.
