SummaryEdit

Description
English: Lombard horseman - shield mount of the Grand Shield of Stabio
  • Canton Tessin/Ticino, Switzerland

Improperly excavated in 1837, Grave 1 of Stabio contained the metal mounts of a shield, a gold leaf cross, a spatha, and a lance, as well as a bronze vessel at the feet of the deceased. The bulk of the shield mounts, including this one of a horseman riding leftward, ended up in the Historical Museum of Bern; the portrayal of one horseman arrived via a roundabout path in the Museo Nationale del Bargello in Florence; and the portrayal of one dog went to the Museo Civico di Bellinzona. The mounts were originally attached to a convex wooden shield, which may have been covered with leather and probably had a diameter of 60 to 70 cm. They consist of fire-gilt sheet bronze and display a row of surviving rivets with which they were affixed to the wooden shield. This mount was on the outer circle of the shield.

Deutsch: Langobardischer Reiter - Beschlag vom Prunkschild aus Stabio
  • Kanton Tessin/Ticino, Schweiz

Im um 1837 unsachgemäß geborgenen Grab 1 von Stabio befanden sich die Beschläge eines Schildes, ein Goldblattkreuz, eine Spatha und eine Lanze, sowie ein Bronzegefäß zu Füßen des Verstorbenen. Wie diese Darstellung eines nach links jagenden Reiters gelanten der Großteil der Schildbeschläge in das Historische Museum Bern, eine Reiterdarstellung jedoch über Umwege in das Museo Nationale del Bargello in Florenz und die Darstellung eines Hundes in Museo Civico di Bellinzona. Die Beschläge waren ursprünglich auf einem gewölbten Schild aus Holz angebracht, der möglicherweise mit Leder überzogen war und einen Durchmesser von 60 bis 70 cm gehabt haben dürfte. Sie bestehen aus feuervergoldetem Bronzeblech und weisen eine Reihe erhaltener Nieten auf, mit denen sie am hölzernen Schild befestigt waren. Dieser Reiter war im äußeren Kreis des Schildes montiert.
