Summary/Abstract: A gold hoard was discovered in 2005 on the Late Bronze Age hilltop settlement at Várvölgy. The hoard contained gold bands for adorning textiles, spirals and a pair of lockrings with passementerie decoration. An earlier gold hoard found in 1926 (Hoard 1) likewise contained passementerie adornments, some of which had most likely been lockrings. Passementerie jewellery first appeared in the Carpathian Basin, whence they spread to the neighbouring regions.
