Blatnica-Mikulčice horizon

The Blatnica-Mikulčice horizon is an early medieval archaeological horizon of metalwork.[1] It emerged in the regions north of the Middle Danube – in present-day Czech Republic and Slovakia – following the fall of the Avar Khaganate in the early 800s.[2][3] The most featuring "Blatnica-Mikulčice" finds are swords with exquisite decorations from graves of male warriors.[3]
