Villanova-Bronze-Gürtel mit Wasservögeln, 800 - 750 v. Chr. Reich verziertes elliptisches Gürtelblech, das zur Tracht einer hochgestellten Frau gehörte und wohl auch ihren Rang symbolisierte. Die breiteste Stelle, das Mittelfeld, wird durch neun plastische Buckel definiert, von denen je drei in drei Reihen untereinander so angeordnet sind, dass sie eine quadratische Fläche bilden. Rund um die Buckel fein gravierte konzentrische Kreise, dazwischen fein gezogener Rautendekor. Jeweils links und rechts des Mittelfeldes, in den sich verjüngenden Teilen der Bleche, liegt ein Bereich mit einer Rosette im Zentrum. Diese seitlichen Rosetten bestehen aus Buckeln, die von Punktdekor und sternförmigen Zacken umgeben sind. Zwischen den Rosetten und dem Mittelteil sind stilisierte Wasservögel mit langen Schnäbeln und schlangenförmigen Körpern eingraviert, die jeweils nach außen blicken. Die langen Körper der Wassertiere sind von Mäandern unterbrochen und schwingen im unteren Gürtelbereich aus. Besonders interessant sind die stehenden Wasservögel an den beiden Enden des Gürtels, die beide in dieselbe Richtung blicken, womit der Vogel am breiten Gürtelende als einziger dem Mittelfeld zugewandt ist. Wohl aus Tarquinia. Vgl. dazu ein elliptisches Gürtelblech in Tarquinia, publiziert in: Gabriele Zipf, "Studien zu den Anfängen figürlicher Darstellungen im endbronze- und früheisenzeitlichen Frankreich und Italien", München 2006, Seite 293f. Gesockelt. Am Rand einige Risse, Gürtel leicht verzogen, sonst jedoch intakt. Länge 36 cm.Provenienz: Schweizer Privatsammlung Dr. R. H. (1922 - 2007).Zustand: II +A Villanovan bronze belt with water birds, 800 - 750 B.C. Opulently decorated elliptical belt sheet belonging to a high ranking woman and possibly also symbolizing her rank. The broadest part, the central passage, is defined by nine sculptural bosses, lined in three rows with three bosses in each row, forming a square area. Around the bosses finely engraved concentric circles, in between finely drawn lozenges decoration. Left and right from the central passage, in the tapered parts of the sheet, an area with a rosette in the centre. These side rosettes consist of a boss surrounded by a dotted decoration and star-shaped spikes. Between the rosettes and the central part stylized water birds with long beaks and snake-like bodies are engraved facing outwards. The long bodies of the water animals are interrupted by meander and swing off at the lower part of the belt. Especially interesting are the standing water birds on both ends of the belt, both turning in the same direction, resulting in the bird on the broad end of the belt as the only one facing to the central part. Possibly from Tarquinia. See a similar elliptical belt sheet in Tarquinia, published in: Gabriele Zipf, "Studien zu den Anfängen figürlicher Darstellungen im endbronze- und früheisenzeitlichen Frankreich und Italien", Munich 2006, page 293f. Mounted. On the rim some cracks, the belt slightly distorted, otherwise intact. 36 cm long.Provenance: Swiss private collection Dr. R. H. (1922 - 2007).Condition: II +
