Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: The Warrior's Grave of Boffalora d'Adda
The inventory of this man's burial consists of an unusually richly decorated shield boss, an elaborate set of belt mountings ornamented in what is called the Germanic animal style, and a gold foil cross. The quality of the weapons and the belt mountings indicates that they belonged to a high-ranking warrior, and the gold foil cross points to his Christian belief. In Italy, gold foil crosses appear only in Lombard burials. The Romanic population of Italy generally buried their dead in the 7th century without grave goods. The belt set comprises two belt buckles, one diamond-shaped and two rectangular mountings, and two strap ends.
Deutsch: Das Kriegergrab von Boffalora d'Adda
Das Inventar der Männerbestattung besteht aus einem außergewöhnlich reich verzierten Schildbuckel, einer aufwändigen Gürtelgarnitur und einem Goldblattkreuz. Die Qualität der Waffen und der Gürtelgarnitur zeichnen den Bestatteten als hochrangigen Krieger aus, das Goldblattkreuz weist auf seinen christlichen Glauben hin. Die Beigabe von Goldblattkreuzen erscheint in Italien nur in langobardischen Bestattungen. Die Ornamentik, mit der die Gürtelgarnitur verziert ist, wird als Tierstil bezeichnet. Die romanische Bevölkerung Italiens bestattete ihre Toten im 7. Jahrhundert weitgehend beigabenlos. Die Gürtelgarnitur besteht aus zwei Gürtelschnallen, einem rautenförmigen und zwei rechteckigen Gürtelbeschlägen sowie zwei Riemenzungen.
