  • The Necklace As a Divine Symbol and As a Sign of Dignity in the Old Norse Conception
    MARIANNE GÖRMAN The Necklace as a Divine Symbol and as a Sign of Dignity in the Old Norse Conception Introduction In the last century a wooden sculpture, 42 cm tall, was found in a small peat-bog at Rude-Eskildstrup in the parish of Munke Bjergby near Soro in Denmark. (Picture 1) The figure was found standing right up in the peat with its head ca. 30 cm below the surface. The sculpture represents a sit- ting man, dressed in a long garment with two crossed bands on its front. His forehead is low, his eyes are tight, his nose is large, and he wears a moustache and a pointed chin-beard. Part of his right arm is missing, while his left arm is undamaged. On his knee he holds an object resembling a bag. Around his neck he wears a robust trisected necklace.1 At the bottom the sculpture is finished with a peg, which indicates that it was once at- tached to a base, which is now missing (Mackeprang 1935: 248-249). It is regarded as an offering and is usually interpreted as depicting a Nordic god or perhaps a priest (Holmqvist 1980: 99-100; Ström 1967: 65). The wooden sculpture from Rude-Eskildstrup is unique of its kind. But his characteristic trisected necklace is of the same type as three famous golden collars from Västergötland and Öland. The sculpture as well as the golden necklaces belong to the Migration Period, ca. 400-550 A.D. From this period of our prehistory we have the most frequent finds of gold, and very many of the finds from this period are neck-ornaments.

  • Vologases I, Pakoros Ii and Artabanos Iii: Coins and Parthian History1
    IranicaAntiqua, vol. LI, 2016 doi: 10.2143/IA.51.0.3117835 VOLOGASES I, PAKOROS II AND ARTABANOS III: COINS AND PARTHIAN HISTORY1 BY Marek Jan OLBRYCHT (University of Rzeszów) Abstract: This article focuses on certain aspects of Parthian coinage under Vologases I (51-79) and Pakoros II (78-110). Most studies convey a picture of extreme political confusion in Parthia at the close of Vologases I’s reign to that of the beginning of Pakoros II’s. They also tend to clump together Vologases I, “Vologases II”, Artabanos III, and Pakoros II as though they were all rival kings, each striving to usurp the throne. Changes in the minting practice of the Arsacids were strictly connected with political transformations that were occurring in Parthia at that time. Any attribution of coin types along with an analysis of the nature of monetary issues depends on an accurate reconstruction of the political developments that effected them. Keywords: Arsacids, Parthian coinage, Vologases I, Pakoros I, Artabanos III This article focuses on certain aspects of Parthian coinage under Vologases I (51-79) and Pakoros II (78-110). Changes in the minting prac- tice of the Arsacids were strictly connected with political transformations that were occurring in Parthia at that time. Any attribution of coin types along with an analysis of the nature of monetary issues (including new royal titles, kings’ names or insignia) depends on an accurate reconstruc- tion of the political developments that effected them, an area subject to impassioned controversy and prone to shaky conclusions. One of the chief aprioristic assumptions some specialists tend to adopt is the belief that any temporal overlap of monetary issues is a sure indication of internal strife in Parthia.

    STATUS OF WEARABLE YUGOSLAV AWARDS - 1935 The following is an English rendering of a portion of £ Yugoslav gov- ernment publication of 1935, dealing with emblems and badges of honor. The material was provided bL~ a ~hotocopy from Jeffrey R. Jacob 01~TA 1364 who obtained it from Ernest J. Fischer O~.~A 922, and is presented by Richard C. Harrison 0~7~A 2315. The original booklet is Zone in two columns, in Serbo-croatian and Erench; trar~lated from the latter. This effort is presented as an inter- linear to the original. However the translation co:~tains a lot of definitive information and may have some value to collectors in its own right~ since it represents the official Yugoslav position at the time of publication. On a line-by-line basis it is almost a literal translation; certain simplifications have been made to conform with the usage familiar to col- lectors. Inscriptions translated from the French are reproduced in the original language from the text wherever possible. Interesting to note that many of the badges are carried over from Serbia, the ~2jor predecessor state; that the Order of Takovo has ~isap- peared from the scene, and that no mention is made of the status of the former Montenegrin awards. The order of precedence may be considered official for the time arz~ place of publication. (The first chapter, dealing with flags, coats of arms, and ~yal cyphers, has been omitted). II.

APR 2. 1951 312213 INTR0DUeTI0N, all the collection of books and pamphlets heretofore issued upon the IN subject of Masquerades and kindred festivities, no single work has contained the condensed and general information sought by the multi- tude of inquirers who desire to render honor to Terpsichore in her fantastic moods, in the most approved manner and garb. Continuous queries from our correspondents and patrons indicated this lack, and research confirmed it. A work giving engravings and descriptions of popular costumes and naming appropriate occasions for their adoption, and also recapitulating the different varieties of Masquerade entertainments and their customs and requirements was evidently desired and needed; and to that demand we have responded in a manner that cannot fail to meet with approval and appreciation. In preparing this book every available resource has been within our reach, and the best authorities upon the subject have been consulted. These facts entitle us to the full confidence of our patrons who have only to glance over these pages to decide for themselves that the work is ample and complete, and that everyone may herein find a suitable costume for any festivity or entertainment requiring Fancy Dress, and reliable decisions as to the different codes of etiquette governing such revelries.

The Sutra travelled from India to Khotan and thence to China. I-tsing translated the Sutra on Imperial orders of Empress Wu in Nov.703. Nine chapters of the Suv. are represented in Khotanese murals or annals: preamble of ch.1(Five Great Goddesses), ch.3 (the drum of desana or preaching of Dharma, in the Naghara-khanah), ch.6 (the Four Lokapalas), ch.8 (Sri mahadevi), ch.10 (Earth Goddess), ch.11 (General Samjnaya and Twentyeight Yaksa Generals), Golden Light (chin-kuang-ming) and Samjnaya, ch.12 (textbook on polity), ch.14 (protection by Yaksas), and Hariti in shrine D II at Dandan-uiliq. Dandan-uiliq was one of the six commanderies of Khotan, and had a Chinese Imperial garrison commander. Hence a major shrine D II to Vaisravana and Hariti, who were the chief protective deities of Khotan. Suvarnabhasottama, sovereignty and security The Suv. is an important Buddhist sutra to ensure sovereignty, the dynamics of governance inherent in the nexus of the king, his people, and their deities symbolising values, to effect the security of economy, and to preempt natural calamities, diseases, and wars.
