Life of Százhalom

36. STOVE TILE
The onion-shaped clay stove tile was placed on the domed vault of the stove with its
pointed end outwards and its mouth inward to increase the stove”s heat-dissipating
surface.

37. STOVE TILE
Stove eyes/tiles of this shape were located on the rectangular body of the stove with
their mouths facing outwards, thus increasing the heat-dissipating surface of the stove
and emitting more heat.

39. MELTING POT
A lot of graphite was mixed into the raw material of this clay melting pot, so it could
withstand high temperatures, and perhaps copper or bronze could be melted in it for the
last time.

44. IRON HOE
The thin edge of this mediaeval tool has been eaten away by rust.

47. HORSESHOE
The iron horseshoe protected the horses” hooves from wear and tear, protected the
internal soft parts from injury, prevented slipping on slippery roads, and helped the
horse”s feet to hold on.

49. SPOON
The long handle of the iron spoon indicated that it was used to mix, serve and dip food
cooked over an open fire, but its head part is incomplete, so it is difficult to determine
whether it was originally flat or round.

50. GRAPE PRUNING KNIFE
One of the tools used in viticulture was this pruning knife with an axe, the axe being the
rectangular extension of the tool, which was used to shape the vines and clean the bark.

52. HATCHET
This heavy iron tool was found in the Danube, the water has preserved a part of its wood
and the blade also shows a seal, a maker’s mark.

54. POT
They started to use this kind of shape in mediaeval households from the 13th century.

57. HORSESHOE
The half horseshoe was adapted by the blacksmith to the hoof toe of the cattle and was
mostly used in wet weather and slippery areas.
