Description

7th century BC. A broad hammered bronze fragment of a medium-size military belt or cuirass band, the register decorated in chased low relief with actual and mythical animals (ibexes, sphinxes, bulls) running towards left and right, alternated with cross motive decoration, closed inside a foliage pattern, on the edges a row of ovules under the holes for the fastening to the leather lining; on a custom-made stand. See ?????. ?. ?., ?????????? VI-V ??. ?? ?. ?. ? ????? ????????? ??, 1965; Born H., Seidl U., Schutzwaffen aus Assyrien und Urartu, Sammlung Axel Guttmann IV, Mainz, 1995; Gorelik, M., Weapons of Ancient East, IV millennium BC-IV century BC, Saint Petersburg, 2003, in Russian. 324 grams total, 20cm including stand (8"). From a private collection formed in the Netherlands; previously in a European collection formed prior to 1980. Caucasian bronze belts are usually richly ornamented, often by punching or embossing, and the degree of decoration increases with the width of the belt. This directly indicates that the increased decoration and ideological saturation of the different subjects are directly related to improving the quality of its profane functions, and all together increases its reliability, its protective functions. Therefore, it is impossible to agree with the statement of S. A. Yesayan that the bronze belts were especially destined to a ritual function, and not used in war activities.
