Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Lombard gold bracteate
  • Poysdorf, District of Misteldorf, Lower Austria
Depicted here is a horned, stag-like animal with pronounced mane and tail, looking backward with its tongue hanging out. Four-legged animals in circular ornaments are typical of Germanic animal style I starting toward the end of the 5th century

. This bracteate with a gold-plated eyelet was found in Grave 4 at Poysdorf. This full-corpse grave was a disturbed burial of a woman stretched out on her back on a body board. Almost the entire set of jewellery of the deceased was recovered in its original position on her garments: this gold bracteate, a whorled fibula, glass beads of a necklace, a bronze hair pin next to her forehead, a belt buckle in the hip area, and between her knees a metal bead from her belt hanging. In addition there was a bowl with food, a knife, and a bone comb. The whorled fibula, long hair pin, and belt hanging are typical components of Germanic women's dressing. The deceased evidently belonged to one of the numerous Elbe Germanic groups who had settled in Austria and were designated as Lombards in the written sources beginning in the late 5th century

  • Photographed while on display from 22 August 2008 to 11 January 2009 in the exhibition "Die Langobarden. Das Ende der Völkerwanderung" at the Rheinisches LandesMuseum Bonn. On loan from the Prehistoric Division of the Naturhistorisches Museum Wien.
Deutsch: Langobardischer Goldbrakteat
  • Poysdorf, Bezirkshauptmannschaft Misteldorf, Niederösterreich

Dargestellt ist ein gehörntes, rückblickendes, hirschartiges Tier mit kräftiger Mähne und Schwanz und heraushängender Zunge. Vierbeinige Tiere in Kreisornamenten sind typisch für den germanischen Tierstil I und setzen gegen Ende des 5. Jahrhunderts ein.

Diesen Brakteat mit Goldblechöse barg Grab 4, Poysdorf. Bei diesem Körpergrab handelt es sich um eine gestörte Frauenbestattung in gestreckter Rückenlage auf einem Totenbrett. Erhalten ist nahezu die gesamte Schmuckausstattung der Toten in Trachtlage: dieser Goldbrakteat, eine Wirbelfibel, Glasperlen einer Halskette, eine Haarnadel aus Bronze neben der Schläfe, eine Gürtelschnalle im Beckenbereich und eine Metallperle des Gürtelgehänges zwischen den Knien. Hinzu kommen eine Schüssel mit Nahrungsbeigabe, ein Messer und ein Knochenkamm. Die Wirbelfibel, die lange Haarnadel und das Gürtelgehänge sind typische Bestandteile der germanischen Frauentracht. Die Tote gehörte demnach einer von zahlreichen elbgermanischen Gruppen an, die sich in Österreich niedergelassen hatten und die in den Schriftquellen seit dem späten 5. Jahrhundert als Langobarden bezeichnet werden.
