Tei culture

The Tei culture was a Bronze Age archaeological culture located in southern Romania and northern Bulgaria, dating from c. 2000 BC to the 14th century BC.

[1] A hoard consisting of eleven gold daggers, a gold 'sword-dagger', and four silver battle-axes was found in Perșinari, within the Tei cultural area, dating from the 17th to 16th centuries BC.

The daggers (or halberds) and sword-dagger are related in shape to contemporary specimens from Mycenaean Greece.

[2][3] Gold and silver weapons are also known from other parts of Europe in the same period, such as a gold axe from Tufalau (Romania) belonging to the Wietenberg culture,[4] a gold axe from Dieskau (Germany) belonging to the Únětice culture,[5] a gold dagger from Inowrocław (Poland) belonging to the Iwno culture,[6] and a gold dagger and silver axe from Mala Gruda (Montenegro) belonging to the Cetina culture or late Vučedol culture.
