Scythian Akinakes from Vatici (Moldova)

Ma tovább szemezgetek Denis Topal  barátom 2013. évi cikkéből és a Vatici (Moldovai Köztársaság) település mellett talált szkíta akinakész bemutatásával folytatom a sort. A 49 cm körüli, kétélű tőr színes fotói itt kerülnek először a magyar közönség számára bemutatásra. Köszönet érte!

Description of the artefact:
The total length of this akinakes was about 49 cm (the preserved length is 47,5cm). The cross section of the blade is rhombic, the edges are parallel having a median rib about 20 cm. The blade’s length probably was about 39 cm, the width varies from 4 cm (near the hafting plate) to 3,5 (in the middle). The hilt is triform, consisting from three shafts, and the central one is rhombic, the length from the pommel to thehafting plate is 8,5 cm, the width is 3 cm, the thickness is 1 cm. The dimensions of butterfly-like hafting plate are 7×4,8 cm, the dimensions of massive pommel are 5,5×2 cm. Under the pommel an iron bight was attached with outside diameter about 1 cm.

Kelermes Type Scythian Akinakes from Susleni (Moldova)

Egy jó barátom, Denis Topal cikkét ajánlom figyelmetekbe. A 2013. évi Marisia-ban megjelent "Akinakai of Kelermes Type: New Discoveries in Central and Northern Bessarabia" című tanulmányban a szerző a Moldovai Köztársaság területén napvilágra került ún. Kelermesz-típusú akinakészeket gyűjtötte csokorba. A fegyverek egyik legszebb darabja Susleni határából származik.

The article of my friend Denis Topal presents some new and previously unknown findings of akinakai from the territory of the Republic of Moldova (Vatici, Susleni, Lipnic). 

The first is from Susleni village. It is already the fourth akinakes reported from the Orhei district: the other three have been found in Vatici, Lukaševka (now Lucăşeuca) and Butuceni fortified settlement. 

It’s pommel is elongated, it’s handle is not triform, but has only two massive shafts on the edges. The form of hafting plate is heart-like, so the edges of plate are more rounded and facing down.

An original akinakes was found not far from the preservation of this exemplaris excellent (what is typical for the majority of Early Scythian akinakai).

The total length is 51 cm. The cross section of the blade is also rhomboid, the edges are parallel and the blade has also the median rib which occupies about two thirds ofthe length (25 cm). The length of the blade is 38cm, the width varies from 3,7 to 3,8 cm. The hilt’s length is 8 cm (from the pommel to the haftingplate), the width is 2,7 cm, the thickness of shaftsis about 1 cm. The dimensions of hafting plateare 6,5×3,9 cm and the pommel is 7×1,5 cm (thickness is 1,2 cm). Under the pommel an iron girdle with the bight is attached (diameter is 0,8 cm, the thickness is 0,5 cm).

A sort a Vatici és a Lipnic-i akinakész követi...
