Hungaries - 1632

 Here is a cloak clasp from the Hungarian Chapel of Aachen that was built in 1367. You can see the COA of King Lajos (Louis) I of Hungary on the clasp.

The original was made between 1367 and 1381, after the construction of the chapel, it is a replica made in 1884 in Budapest. It is on display in the Museum of Applied Arts, Budapest. Height: 15.5 cm
Let us not forget that as far as Hungarians were concerned it was King Lajos the Great who had the first military conflict with the Ottoman Turks.
