Title: 2 Jericho Plates from Central Asia
Post by: Druzhina on 08 February 2021, 09:55:47 AM
I was surprised to see a plate with the Jericho story from Semireçye in Central Asia found at Verkhne-Nildino (http://warfare.tk/6-10/Plate-Semirecye-Jericho-Nildin.htm) was cast from the same mould as the plate with the Jericho story from Semireçye in Central Asia found at Anikovskoe (http://warfare.tk/6-10/Plate-Semirecye-St_Petersburg.htm). The gilding is different and there are major differences in the later engraving, particularly of the armour. See a side-by-side comparison of the Anikova and Nildin plates. (http://warfare.tk/6-10/Plate-Semirecye-Jericho-Comparison-Anikova-Nildin.htm)

The Anikova plate is missing an axe that is present on the Nildin casting.

The 9th-10th centuries corresponds to the period of Qarluq domination in the Semirechye (Jetysu/Yedisu) region.
