A La Tène scabbard with unique decoration
Original language description
The study presents a LT C1 sword in its scabbard from grave 8 of Záluží (Central Bohemia), excavated by the Town Museum of Čelákovice. The sword was lifted in situ and transported for restoration to the laboratory of the Institute of Archaeology in Prague where it underwent meticulous micro‑excavations and documentation. X–ray radiography, X–ray computed tomography and mechanical cleaning highlighted two or three successive steps in the creation of a complex and unique ornament on the scabbard: first an engraved dragon pair adorned the front plate. Later, it was decorated with non-ferrous incrustations without consideration of the previous engraved ornament. The succession of the two different types of scabbard ornamentation is analyzed in the light of the archaeological context and anthropological observations.
