HUNGARY AND THE HUNS
The Hopp Aluseum for East Asian exhibits, which was opened in 1923, has been presented by a Hungarian art. dealer living in Peking, with a quantity of North Chinese ornaments, dating from the time of Christ. Tho new exhibits are regarded as particularly interesting, as they tippear to prove that the Huns who wandered westward to Hungary from a territory adjacent to North < hina, brought the Chinese culture us far as Hungary. Tho motifs and designs on the Chinese ornaments are similar to those seen on objects dating from the time of the “ Volker-wanderung,” which have been unearthed in Hungary. Chiselled dress ornaments of cast bronze are decorated with a beast- of prey motif, which is seen on leather strap-endings from the same time.
