TRIANGULAR BRONZE DAGGERS

Budapest - Békásmegyer

Next to the characteristic bell shaped pots we can often find daggers, similar to the ones shown here, in the graves of the Bell-beaker-Csepel group. This is typical of other parts of Europe as well. It is probable that the bell beakers, daggers, wristbands and bone pendants found in graves indicate the high social status of the buried person.
