    This paper aims at scrutinizing the cultural heritage left behind by the European Hun State through excavations, findings and examples. The Hun people adopted a partially or largely sedentary lifestyle towards the middle of the 5th century. The most important Hunnic archaeological finding left behind after settling is a burial found in 1831 in Höckricht, Silesia, a historic region in Central Europe currently within the borders of Poland for the most part in what used to be Germany. Findings include gold, silver and bronze works that have reached the present day. Generally, the findings have been classified as items of daily social life, mainly domestic and kitchen utensils. Notable are the findings of Segedin-Nagyszéksos from 1934, which establish a connection between extremely distant locations such as Central Asia, Iran, North Caucasus, and Wolfsheim (Rheinshessen). Findings obtained in this region and the surrounding area reveal the level reached in Turkic art in general and Hunnic art in particular around the 4th and 5th centuries. Items unearthed in this excavation demonstrate Hunnic art as well as the influence and traces of surrounding tribes and states.
