Replicas for the museum at Monterenzio (Italy)

[Ioannes_Ahenobarbus]

Eccezionale!

Una bella cosa!
What was the reason for making the grip in three pieces of wood, instead of just one? Just curious.

In this case for estetic, but the archaeologist and the restorer told me that it is possible in some specimens grip "tang"(codolo in italian), remnants of wood are also several pieces, some to 2 faces with up nine nails.

Salvete friends,
we begin to study for the empirical reconstruction of the shield (the only) found in burial No. 107 of the necropolis of Monte Tamburino - Monte Bibele.
We begin with the publication "wood umbo"

Here [url:gcnsly0z]http://www.hephestus.net/scudo_tomba_107.htm[/url] the realization of umbo Boico. IV sec. BC

We will do update on the progress of processing.

This is nice work hephestus.

Do you have thined the board down towards te edges?
I am not so shure about the shape of the shield, is this copyed from somewhere,
or does have the finds of these peticular iron edgings dictated the shape??

Yust wandering...

wow, on those images on your website I see you made this shield out of a single piece of wood. Wonderful! Very nice.

Thanks folks. The shape was determined by the iron reinforcement (the only relic).
Is there an actual design in the museum and I was delivered by Prof. Daniele Vitali (archaeologist). This is the form that he has derived from the excavation.If you translate the page explains the reconstruction and derivation.
For the form, are the indications of the archaeologist.

It's hard to find wood that wide and free of knots and blemishes. I'll bet it cost more than a bowl of spumoni, didn't it?

[hephestus]

Hi Demetrius,

is cheap, considering that 500 years.
Of course I bought many tables
I was lucky

That would do a fair amount of damage on its own!
Amazing craftmanship!
