Lot 8064 | Griffangelschwert aus Bronze, Urnenfelderzeit (Stufe Hallstatt A), Westeuropa, 11. - 10. Jhdt. v. Chr.
Griffangelschwert aus Bronze, Urnenfelderzeit (Stufe Hallstatt A), Westeuropa, 11. - 10. Jhdt. v. Chr.
Griffangelschwert typisch westeuropäischer Formgebung. Die oben stumpfe Griffangel geht nach ca. 3 cm in eine dreieckige Platte über, die am Übergang zur Klinge ausschwingt und zwei Nietlöcher bzw. zwei Nietkerben besitzt (in Anlehnung an die früheren Griffplattenschwerter). Ob die Aussparungen für die Nieten am Rand geschlossen waren, ist aufgrund minimaler Ausbrüche am Rand nicht eindeutig zu entscheiden. Beides ist möglich. Von dort aus beginnt die lorbeerblattförmige Klinge mit fast parallelen Schneiden im oberen und mittleren Abschnitt. Die schmalen Fasen deutlich vom leicht gewölbten Mittelteil abgesetzt. Kleinere Scharten entlang der Schneiden. Ansonsten ausgezeichnet erhaltenes Schwert der späten Bronzezeit mit ansprechender "Flusspatina", welche den metallischen Untergrund durchschimmern lässt. Länge 56,7 cm.
Provenienz: Aus alter belgischer Privatsammlung, erworben im belgischen Kunsthandel in den 80er Jahren.
A Western European hilt sword made of bronze, Urnfield Culture (Hallstatt A period), 11th - 10th century B.C.
A Western European hilt sword made of bronze, Urnfield Culture (Hallstatt A period), 11th - 10th century B.C.
The grip tang sword in typical Western European design. The tang is blunt at the top, extending down into a triangular plate after approx. 3 cm. The plate has two rivet holes or notches (based on the earlier grip plate swords) and flares out where it joins the blade. It cannot be said with any certainty whether the slots for the rivets on the edge were closed due to minimal chipping along the edge. Either case is possible. From there, the laurel-shaped blade extends with almost parallel cutting edges in the upper and middle section. The narrow chamfers are clearly offset from the slightly domed central part. Minor notches along the cutting edges. Otherwise, excellently preserved sword of the late Bronze Age with an attractive "river patina", which allows the metallic background to shimmer through. Length 56.7 cm.
Provenance: From an old Belgian private collection, acquired in the Belgian art trade in the 80s.
