4 ensformede rembeslag af forgyldt
bronse med underlagt plade, ligeledes
forgyldt og af samme metal ;
2 beslag af samme slags arbeide og metal
som foregaaende, begge væsentlig ens og
yderst merkelige ved sin hos os ene-
staaende figur; thi medens de øvrige for-
an og nedenfor omtalte lignende beslag
fremvise kun ornamentale forsiringer med
den yngre jernalders sedvanlige stil, i det
højeste (som fig. 4) et, noget mindre fantastiskt dyr, sees
her en kriger med hjelm og fremstrakt spyd paa en
galoperende hest, alt tegnet med en vis dygtighed
og med gjengivelse af et bestemt kostym, men dog
øjensynlig i flere dele saa fremmedt for vort land
og dets daværende skik, at forbilledet dertil rimelig-
vis er ligefrem overført fra udlandet; sadelen viser
ingen bommer, medens det ej sikkert kan sees, om
den har stigbøjler; derimod er spydet forsynet med
modhager, hvad der kunde synes stridende med, at
denne spydform hidtil hos os kun er truffet i fund
fra ældre jernalder; dog maa herved merkes, at lige.
som spydbladene paa Bayeuxbroderiet*) alle vise
denne form, saaledes nævnes i vor ældre Gulathings-
lov fra midten af rode hundredaar baade hkrökör og
krökspjöt, hvad der kun kan forstaaes om pile og
spyd med modhager, saa at disse følgelig maa have
været anvendt ogsaa i den yngre jernalder;

ii. 4 strap mountings of like form of gilt
bronze with underplate gilt and of the same
metal ;
kk. 2 mountings of the same kind of metal
and workmanship as the preceding, both
essentially of one character and both ex-
tremely remarkable because of their form
being with us unique; for whereas those
similar mountings, before and subsequently
spoken of, exhibit embellishments merely
ornamental in the customary style of the younger
iron age, and at most (as fig. 4) a somewhat less fantastic
animal; here is to be seen a warrior in his helmet
and with outstretched lance on a galloping horse,
designed with a certain skill and with the repro-
duction of a precise costume, but nevertheless in
many respects so strange to our country and its
then existing customs, that its prototype probably
was brought hither immediately from abroad. No
saddle-tree is seen, nor can it certainly be perceived
whether there are or are not any stirrups, the spear
however is barbed,
seem to bring us into conflict with the fact that
spears of this form, hitherto discovered, belong only
It must however be remar-
a circumstance which might
to the earlier iron age.
ked, that irrespective of the fact, that as all the spear
heads, at the Bayeux tapestry, exhibit that form, so also
in our elder Gulathing’s law, from the middle of the
10" century, both %rökör and krökspjöt are named,
words which can only be understood in relation to
the barbed arrow and spear head, and consequently
they must also have been in use in the later
iron age;

ll. a round lead mounting with 5 iron
pins as fasteners, and of open work
so contrived that the thin bronze gilt
plate in pressed work shines through ;
the mode of ornamentation rare
among us, though specimens of si-
milar mounting were found in the
Tune-boat ;
