Lot 5026 | Bronzedolch mit chinesischen Schriftzeichen, steppennomadisch, 5. - 4. Jhdt. v. Chr.
Steppennomadischer Dolch ("Akinakes") aus Bronze. Griff beidseitig durch drei vertikale Rippen gegliedert, oben durch einen Knauf mit zwei einwärts gerollten Raubvogelköpfen bekrönt. Parierstange aus zwei stilisierten, auswärts blickenden Raubvogelköpfen. Die schmale Klinge mit Mittelgrat verjüngt sich zunehmend zur Spitze hin, deren unterstes Ende abgebrochen. Auf einer Seite des beidseitig gleichermaßen sorgfältig ausgearbeiteten Dolches rechts oben auf der Klinge chinesische Schriftzeichen. Neben den Schriftzeichen verweist auch das Material des Dolches, Bronze, in die unmittelbare Kontaktzone steppennomadischer Völker mit China, wohingegen gleichartige Waffen mit Tierstilelementen weiter westlich aus Eisen gefertigt sind. Abgesehen von der fehlenden Spitze und minimalen Scharten am Klingenrand ausgezeichnet erhalten.
A steppe nomadic bronze dagger with Chinese characters, 5th - 4th century B.C.
A steppe nomadic bronze dagger ("acinaces"). Both sides of the handle articulated by three vertical ribs, surmounted by a pommel decorated with two griffin heads facing each other. Guard of two stylised griffin heads facing away from each other. The slender blade with a central ridge tapering progressively towards the point, the tip broken off. The blade finely crafted on both sides, one face embellished with Chinese characters on the top right. These characters, as well as the bronze used for the dagger, give evidence of the immediate contact zone of nomad tribes with China - further west, similar weapons with animal elements were made of iron.
Apart from the missing point and minimal nicks on the edge of the blade in excellent condition.
