Hi!
Near by the Tisza archaeologists found a house from the 1240's, in the house an owen, in the owen a woman with her two children (a little girl and a boy), who had die in the owen... They were hide away from the mongols, who burned the house to ash. The family choked.
the father (a war pooved giant (he had some healed woonds) was a wood worker, he died with a woodaxe in his hand on the front of the house when he was pretending the village with the other men against the mongols.
His son hold in his little hands the wood-compass of his dad.
But your picture is wonderfull (if it shows a loving paar) and terrible too.

This is of course the grave of a great warrior or king (on the right), slain on battlefield (hole in the skull from a blow to the head).
The person on the left was his wife or a favorite female slave, probably killed (or suicide) to be buried with her master. She is positioned to be giving him a forever lasting loving kiss.
