Lot 4112 | Vorgeschichtliche Trepanationsscheibe mit Darstellung der Plejaden (?), urnenfelderzeitlich, 12. - 9. Jhdt. v. Chr.
Ovale Trepanationsscheibe von der operativen Entfernung eines Stücks von einem menschlichen Schädel. Die Ränder der Scheibe nachträglich geglättet, wobei an einer Stelle noch Reste der Sutur (Knochennaht) zu erkennen sind. In der Scheibe sieben spezifisch angeordnete Bohrlöcher, deren Anordnung erstaunlich genau einer Trepanationscheibe aus dem urnenfelderzeitlichen Gräberfeld von Künzing-Ost entspricht. Die Anordnung der Bohrlöcher auf beiden Trepanationscheiben findet wiederum eine Entsprechung auf der Darstellung eines Sternhaufens auf der bronzezeitlichen Himmelsscheibe von Nebra, die als Darstellung der Plejaden interpretiert worden ist. Länge 4,5 cm. Kulturgeschichtlich hochinteressantes Artefakt.
Provenienz: Süddeutsche Privatsammlung, Bereits Anfang des Jahrtausends vom 2013 verstorbenen Vater übernommen.
A prehistoric trepanation disc with depiction of the Pleiades(?), Urnfield period, 12th – 9th century B.C.
A prehistoric trepanation disc with depiction of the Pleiades(?), Urnfield period, 12th – 9th century B.C.
Oval trepanation disc used to surgically remove a section of a human skull. The edges of the disc smoothed retroactively, whereby remnants of the bone suture are still visible in one place. The disc with seven specifically arranged perforations, the spacing corresponds surprisingly closely to a trepanation disc from the Urnfield burial ground at Künzing. In turn, the arrangement of the perforations on both trepanation discs resembles the illustration of a star cluster on the Bronze Age Nebra Sky Disc, which has been interpreted as representing the Pleiades. Length 4.5 cm. Extremely interesting artefact from both a cultural and historical perspective.
Provenance: From a South German private collection, inherited in the early 2000s from the consignor's father, who died in 2013.
