Among the categories of weapons and military equipment of the early Middle Ages (the 9th - 11th centuries) in the Dniester-Carpathian region, swords are distinguished by the rarity of discovery. Considered “noble” and prestigious weapons, of Byzantine or Scandinavian origin, they have always been true symbols of military elites. In the Carpathian-Danubian-Pontic region, whole or fragmentary swords were found in Paşcani (Iaşi County), Albeşti (Constanța County), Alba Iulia (Alba County), Vetiş (Satu Mare County) and some other places. One of them (the sword from Albeşti) has the inscription “Ulfberht” on the blade, indicating the workshop in which it was made. Details of swords and sabers, represented by bronze or iron guards, pommels or scabbard chapes made of iron, bronze or silver, were found in Dinogetia, Păcuiul-lui-Soare, Alba-Iulia, Echimăuți (Rezina District), Bârlad (Vaslui County), Fundu-Herții (Botosani County), Rukhotin-Cornesti (Khotyn Raion, Chernivtsi Oblast), etc. Some of these artefacts are believed to be Byzantine or Oriental, but most of them appear to be of northern European origin. Through this communication we include into the scientific use the chape of the sword scabbard found in the village of Mîrzoaia, Nisporeni District, Republic of Moldova. The artifact is one of the few surviving components of early medieval swords found in the area of early medieval sites of the Carpathian-Danubian-Pontic region. Among them, there are one gilded silver and one iron chapes from the Echimăuti settlement, as well as similar bronze specimens from Bârlad and Alba Iulia. The chape of the scabbard from Mîrzoaia is made up of an alloy where the copper and lead predominate. On both surfaces, it has an almost identical ornament in the form of a four-legged animal made of woven bands, rendered in the Scandinavian ornamental Jelling style. The upper part of the chape was broken in antiquity. At the same time, based on existing analogies, it can be assumed that it was an element in the shape of a flattened animal head, interpreted by researchers as an image of a wolf or a dog in the Borre style. It is believed that this is one of the animals of Norse mythology (Fenrir wolf), participating in the last battle of the gods on the Day of Ragnarök. The image of Fenrir is often found in the Icelandic and Norwegian sagas of the 10th-11th centuries. The son of the god Loki and a giantess named Angrboda, Fenrir became a threat to the world of the gods. By cunning, the gods bound him with a magic chain, sticking a sword into his mouth. In our opinion, this mythological scene is depicted on the chape of the scabbard from Mîrzoaia. The chape belongs to the “Scandinavian group” according to P. Paulsen’s classification. The artifact finds analogues in the early medieval sites of Northern, Central and Eastern Europe, such as Birka, Linkunen, Gnezdova, Listvin, Shestovits, Rurik’s Hillfort near Novgorod, Danilovka, Dombrádról and others. It can be dated the second half of the 10th century. |
