title: Early Byzantine Elements of Prestigious Horse Harness with Cloisonné Inlaid Decoration in the Post-Hunnic Period (Eastern Europe, Danube Area, and Eurasian Steppes)
abstract: The elements of prestigious horse tack of the Early Byzantine origin, decorated with cloisonné inlay style decor, have long been identified among the steppe nomads of the Post-Hunnic Period (the so-called Shipovo horizon from the second third of the fifth to the second third of the sixth centuries), as well as among the sedentary barbarians in Eastern and Central Europe. These finds include disc-shaped badges or plaques or appliques, rectangular belt-ends, and horse bits with zoomorphic images.
