Description
English: Mounts from the Grand Shield of Stabio
  • Canton Tessin/Ticino, Switzerland

Improperly excavated in 1837, these finds were sold to various buyers. In Grave 1 were the metal mounts of a shield, a gold leaf cross, a spatha, and a lance, as well as a bronze vessel at the feet of the deceased. The bulk of the shield mounts ended up in the Historical Museum of Bern; the portrayal of one horseman arrived via a roundabout path in the Museo Nationale del Bargello in Florence; and the portrayal of one dog went to the Museo Civico di Bellinzona. The mounts were originally attached to a convex wooden shield, which may have been covered with leather and probably had a diameter of 60 to 70 cm. They consist of fire-gilt sheet bronze and display a row of surviving rivets with which they were affixed to the wooden shield.
1. A mount of a horseman riding leftward mounted on the outer circle of the shield.
2. A mount of a dog looking backward mounted on the outer circle of the shield.
3. A mount in the shape of a tree of life mounted on the upper area of the outer circle of the shield.
4. A mount in the shape of a kantharos mounted on the lower area of the outer circle of the shield.
5. Three lance-shaped mounts with spherical tips mounted in the shape of a cross in the middle of the shield.
6. A large ornamental boss in the middle of the shield.
7. Three hemispherical mount buttons with a cross portrayal.
8. Seven decorative rivets in the outer circle.

Deutsch: Beschläge von Prunkschild aus Stabio
  • Kanton Tessin/Ticino, Schweiz

Die um 1837 unsachgemäß geborgenen Funde wurden auf unterschiefliche Käufer veräußert. In Grab 1 befanden sich die Beschläge eines Schildes, ein Goldblattkreuz, eine Spatha und eine Lanze, sowie ein Bronzegefäß zu Füßen des Verstorbenen. Der Großteil der Schildbeschläge gelangte in das Historische Museum Bern, eine Reiterdarstellung über Umwege in das Museo Nationale del Bargello in Florenz und die Darstellung eines Hundes in Museo Civico di Bellinzona. Die Beschläge waren ursprünglich auf einem gewölbten Schild aus Holz angebracht, der möglicherweise mit Leder überzogen war und einen Durchmesser von 60 bis 70 cm gehabt haben dürfte. Sie bestehen aus feuervergoldetem Bronzeblech und weisen eine Reihe erhaltener Nieten auf, mit denen sie am hölzernen Schild befestigt waren.
1. Ein im äußeren Kreis montierter Beschlag eines nach links jagenden Reiters.
2. Ein im äußeren Kreis montierter Beschlag in Form eines zurückblickenden Hundes.
3. Ein im äußeren Kreis am oberen Schildrand montierter Beschlag in Form eines Lebensbaumes.
4. Ein im äußeren Kreis am unteren Schildrand montierter Beschlag in Form eines Kantharos.
