Lot 14 | Zwei verzierte quadratische Votivplaketten mit Eselsköpfen, Urartu, 9. - 8. Jhdt. v. Chr.
Zwei ähnliche, rechteckige Votivplatten mit Eselsköpfen in der Mitte der unteren Hälfte. Die Flächen links und rechts der plastisch im Relief ausgearbeiteten Köpfe durchbrochen, was sie in besonderem Maße zur Geltung kommen lässt. Diese Wirkung wird durch die Ohren der Esel verstärkt, die in extremer Weise geometrisierend lanzettförmig stilisiert sind. Die Durchbrechungen von zwei parallel verlaufenden Rippen mit schräger Riefelung begrenzt, ebenso der Rand der ganzen Plaketten. Links und rechts der Eselsköpfe Rosetten. Auf der kleineren Plakette sind diese kleiner und von acht Buckeln umgeben. Über den Eselsköpfen zwischen den Ohren rautenförmiger Ritzdekor mit ineinander verschränkten Swastika-Motiven. Die obere Hälfte der Plaketten mit Rosetten und Buckeln gefüllt. Auf der Rückseite ehemals Klammern zur Befestigung auf einer Unterlage, von denen nur bei der kleineren Plakette eine erhalten ist. Zinnbronze mit grünen und blauen Oxydauflagen. Maße der größeren Plakette ca. 17 x 17 cm. Maße der kleineren Plakette ca. 15,5 x 15 cm.
Provenienz: Ostdeutsche Privatsammlung.
Two similar rectangular votive plaques with donkey heads in the centre of the lower half. The surfaces to the left and right of the heads, worked out plastically in relief, are pierced, which makes them stand out to a special degree. This effect is intensified by the donkeys' ears, which are stylised in an extreme geometric lancet shape. The piercings are bordered by two parallel ribs with oblique striations, as is the edge of the entire plaques. Rosettes to the left and right of the donkey heads. On the smaller plaque these are smaller and surrounded by eight bosses. Above the donkey heads between the ears, diamond-shaped incised decoration with interlocking swastika motifs. The upper half of the plaques filled with rosettes and bosses. On the back formerly clasps for fastening to a base, one of which is preserved only on the smaller plaque. Pewter bronze with green and blue oxide overlays. Dimensions of the larger plaque ca. 17 x 17 cm. Dimensions of the smaller plaque approx. 15.5 x 15 cm.
Provenance: Eastern German private collection.
