High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Treasure of Nagyszentmiklos (also called the Treasure of Sannicolau Mare) is a valuable collection of twenty-three early medieval gold vessels, found in 1799 in Nagyszentmiklos, Hungary in the Habsburg Empire (modern Sannicolau Mare, Romania). The treasure was soon transferred to Vienna, the capital of the empire, where it has been ever since. Recently, Romanian historians and museologists have issued requests to the Austrian government for its repatriation. The treasure, consisting of twenty-three gold vessels and variously dated from the 6th to the 10th century, was found in 1799 in the vicinity of Sannicolau Mare. The figure of the "victorious Prince" dragging a prisoner along by his hair (see figure on the left), and the mythological scene at the back of the golden jar, as well as the design of other ornamental objects, show close affinities with finds at Novi Pazar, Bulgaria and at Sarkel, Russia. Stylistically, Central Asian, Persian-Sassanid and Byzantine influences are predominant.
