plain, undecorated examples (fig. 100/1–11).490
Most of the examples of this type have been found evenly distributed across
the Great Hungarian Plain491 and Transdanubia (map 49).492 This type is dated
by a copy of a solidus of Maurice from the burial of Szegvár–Sápoldal to the
end of the 6th or beginning of the 7th century.493 The chronology of this type
is not limited to the first half of the Early phase494 and it remained in use in the
second third of the 7th century.495
P-shaped suspension loops with equal length of head and projection (S.4.b)
are usually plain and undecorated (fig. 101).496 The silver or copper alloy cover-

493 István Bóna (1980, 36) dated this burial by a contemporaneous imitation of a solidus of
Maurice (582–602). See: Garam 1992, 139–140.
494 The burial from Csanytelek (Kürti 1990, 79–80, 1. kép; Simon 1991, 289) is dated by its
stamped belt-set decorated with fish-motives to the beginning of the 7th century (Garam
2001, 141). The example from Fajsz (Balogh – Kőhegyi 2001, 333–363) was dated by a light
grey wheel-turned pottery vessel of type ‘IB2/I1’ (Vida 1999a, 56–57. Abb. 7), Csilla Balogh
and Mihály Kőhegyi (2001, 345) dated the cemetery to the second third of the 7th century.
495 The swords from Csepel (Nagy 1998, I. 178–180) and Csákberény (Kiss 1962, 70; Simon 1991,
290) belong to the Bócsa – Kunbábony horizon by way of their hilt-coverings. The later
use of this type is verified by the loop of the second sword from Kunbábony (H. Tóth –
Horváth 1992, 59–60, Taf. XXXIII).
