Fifty years after the discovery of the Regöly grave, the emblematic Hunnic period archaeological assemblage from Hungary, an extensive scientific investigation was performed on the polychrome dress accessories of the high-status woman, often referred to as the “Princess of Regöly”, buried there. The multi-instrumental analyses aimed to characterise material and technological aspects of the gemstone-inlaid artefacts (a set of a pair of bow-brooches and a belt buckle), i.e., the manufacturing and decorative techniques as well as the chemical and mineralogical compositions. The non-destructive and non-invasive gemmological and geochemical analyses applied optical microscopes, handheld XRF, SEM-EDX and Raman microspectrometer. This study provides the first comprehensive examination of the Hunnic period polychrome jewellery, and highlights the potential of combining surface and subsurface analyses to specify garnet provenances. It presents the first evidence of use of antique and early medieval garnet sources during the early Migration period. The findings enhance understanding of the garnet supply chain and trade network, the production organisation and potential workshop connections. Significant differences of the brooches and the buckle reveal varying levels of luxury among the elite, providing insight into the social context of the polychrome jewellery associated with the “Princess of Regöly”.

匈奴时期（公元 5 世纪中叶）喀尔巴阡盆地高级彩色珠宝套装的生产前景


在匈牙利标志性的匈奴时期考古集合 Regöly 坟墓被发现 50 年后，对埋葬在那里的这位地位高贵的女性（通常被称为“Regöly 公主”）的彩色服装配饰进行了广泛的科学调查。多工具分析旨在描述宝石镶嵌文物（一套蝴蝶结胸针和皮带扣）的材料和技术方面，即制造和装饰技术以及化学和矿物成分。无损和非侵入性的宝石学和地球化学分析使用了光学显微镜、手持式 XRF、SEM-EDX 和拉曼微型光谱仪。这项研究首次全面考察了匈奴时期的彩色珠宝，并强调了结合表面和地下分析来确定石榴石来源的潜力。它提供了在早期迁移期间使用古董和中世纪早期石榴石来源的第一个证据。研究结果增强了对石榴石供应链和贸易网络、生产组织和潜在车间联系的理解。胸针和搭扣的显著差异揭示了精英阶层不同程度的奢华，让人们了解与“Regöly 公主”相关的彩色珠宝的社会背景。
