| Description |
Deutsch:
Das wohl bekannteste Gefäß aus dem
Goldschatz von Nagyszentmiklós
ist der in einem Stück getriebene Medaillonkrug mit seinem reichen, in der Technik der Treibziselierung herausgearbeiteten Reliefdekor. Die vier durch Ornamentbänder gerahmten Medaillons zeigen figürliche Szenen. Hier sichtbar: Ein gepanzertes Reiter führt einen Gefangenen am Schopf mit sich, am Sattel hängt das abgeschlagene Haupt eines Feindes. Wie die übrigen Krüge aus dem Hortfund war auch der Medaillonkrug ursprünglich als Flasche konzipiert und wurde später mit einem Henkel versehen. Reste haben sich noch an Mündung und Gefäßkörper erhalten.
English:
Probably the most well-known vessel from the
Treasure of Nagyszentmiklós
, this medallion ewer is of wrought gold in one piece with relief ornament carried out in the chased repoussé technique. The four medallions framed with ornamental ribbons present figurative scenes. Shown here: a warrior in armor leads a prisoner by his hair, while the severed head of an enemy hangs from his saddle. Like the other vessels found in this hoard, this medallion ewer was originally designed as a bottle and was later adapted with a handle. Remnants of the handle are still to be found on the ewer's mouth and corpus.
