New Late Bronze Age helmet cheek guard and an “arm guard” from Transdanubia
View through CrossRef
The brief study introduces two new Late Bronze Age (Ha A1) bronze armour parts, a helmet cheek guard and an “armguard”. Both objects come from the collection of Dr. Zoltán Repkényi. The cheek guard was allegedly found at “Kapospula-Halastavak” decades ago as part of a larger Ha A1 hoard. According to the Collector, the “arm guard” or “armband” came to light together with a repoussé decorated knob. This “assemblage” originate from the “south Balaton region, north of Kaposvár”. These finds are most likely to be dated to the same period as the “Kapospula” assemblage or earlier (Rei. Br A2), based on a find from Unín.
