Abstract

The paper features the material of a belt set (pads – 3 types, buckles – 2 types, and a tip) from the burial 6 of “Nizhnyaya Strelka” Mari burial ground, which was used as a basis for a graphic reconstruction of the belt. The belt set is unusual for the Vetluga-Vyatka interfl uve, where the burial ground is located. The closest analogies to the pads of all types in a single complex were discovered in barrow 18 of Sineglazovo site of the Subbottsevo circle, as well as in the Hungarian sites of the Arpad period. Based on the dating of the complex given in the article (not later than the mid–10th century) and the revealed analogies to the details of the belt set, it can be assumed that the Vetluga-Vyatka interfl uve contains the remnants of the post-Subbottsevo style which penetrated into this region, possibly indirectly, from the population directly familiar with the Subbottsevo traditions.
