Description
Gallia - Année 1990 - Volume 47 - Numéro 1 - Pages 67-77Le microscope électronique à balayage (MEB) permet de mieux percevoir les différentes méthodes de fabrication de la feuille d'or dans l'Antiquité. On peut ainsi distinguer une frappe primitive ou «verticale» et une frappe «progressive» plus élaborée. Les feuilles de placage des casques d'Amfreville et d'Agris sont issues de la première méthode, pratiquement abandonnée dans le domaine méditerranéen à leur époque (IV s. avant J.- C). Des observations au MEB plus nombreuses nous renseigneraient utilement sur l'extension du procédé dans le monde celte.
With the help of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) we are now able to distinguish between the various ancient methods of sheet gold hammering. A primitive or vertical hammering used from the beginning of gold jewellery has little by little been replaced by a more elaborate progressive hammering during the first millenium B.C. The plated gold leaves of the Amfreville and Agris helmets (4th century B.C.) were made with the first method which was virtually abandoned during the same period in the Mediterranean basin. Many other observations of this kind would be very useful to know the extension of the process in the Celtic world.
