Where are the finds, uncovered by Géza Szalay?

Provenance:
Cemetery No. 1, lies on a high sandhill at Kenézlõ-Fazekaszug dûlõ, Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county. This area once was bordered by the Tökös lake, that dried out by now.

Discovery of the finding:
In 1913, three graves were disturbed during ploughing. In the same year, András Jósa uncovered further 22 burials. In 1990, an old inhabitant of Kenézlo reported, that a local landowner Géza Szalay had uncovered at least 8 graves, containing tarsoly finds, within the territory of the cemetery between 1919-1920. In 1920, further Conquest period graves were disturbed at the border of Kenézlõ. In 1927 some further excavations began.

Material:
Silver foreplate, copper backplate.

Size:
118x100 mm.

Preparation method:
The frontplate and the backplate were held together with a line of dome-headed silver rivets. Most probably this plate had been made by the same craftsman as the one found in the Kenézlõ burial No. 28.

The provenance of the tarsoly finding can be found on this map detail of Szabolcs county from 1913.
