Welcome to my Study
Here you will find the results of my play activities!
Also, here you may find artifacts and other items I have been
collecting and making through my game playing activities.
Finally, you can see an index to all my posts to role-playing boards.
ARMS AND TRINKETS:
The sword and scabbard on the left has a brazil nut pommel,
a large spatulate cross and the blade has a large central fuller.
In the middle is the so-called 'Temple Pyx' of gilt bronze c.1140-50.
Probably originally part of a reliquary casket, this fragment shows
three mail-clad knights with long gowns of cloth underneath their
hauberks and their shields are the familiar Norman kite shape with umbos.
The grip of the sword on the right is bound with red and yellow silk,
the pommel is bronze and the cross iron. The belt fittings on the
scabbard are of buckskin.
ARMS & ARMOUR:
To the left: a Viking sword c.1000 found in the River Thames, London. It's blade is inlaid in iron with the maker's name, INGELRI.
Middle: medieval spear and lance heads excavated in London.
Right: Viking age spearheads and broad axe heads found in the River Thames, near London bridge. Battle-axes such as these were capable of severing a man's head from his shoulders.
