Abstract
In this paper, part of a gilded attire set for decorating clothes is
published, from the Museum of Srem, belonging to the Hungarian
arts-and-crafts milieu of the period immediately after their settling
in the Pannonian Plain. The group of finds, consisting of a
total of 14 pieces, was gifted to the Museum in the middle of the
20th century as a legacy of Franjo Rački, who was the parson of
Sremska Mitrovica and trustee of the Archaeological Museum in
Zagreb. It is assumed that the finds originate from the area of
Mitrovica, where Rački used to procure antiquities, or the wider
region of Syrmia. It is a set consisting of two-piece pendants
and two types of appliques which used to adorn the attire of
the female part of the population in the 10th century. On this occasion,
formal, technological and decorative characteristics are
examined, through a comparative analysis with similar decorative
sets from the Carpathian Basin. Finally, with an overview
of other archaeological finds of similar chronology, historical
circumstances and the nature of the Hungarian presence in the
area between the Danube and the Sava are briefly discussed.
