| Description |
Dette Neftafl-brettet er fra 1100-tallet. Det ble funnet blant annet søppel i en bakgård opp mot det gamle Kaupmannastrete, under utgravningene på Folkebibliotek-tomta på 1980-tallet. Brikkene på bildet er laget av bein. De er fra 1200-tallet og funnet andre steder i bygrunnen. Brikkene ser ut til ende i en spiss, som muligens ble puttet ned i hull i brettet, slik at brikken sto opp ned, og lignet en neve. Dette er en mulig forklaring på navnet, siden forstavelsen «nef» i neftafl betyr neve. I Norden er Neftafl-spillet enda eldre en sjakk som mest sannsynlig etablerte seg her på 1100 tallet. Neftafl var et strategispill med flere brikker. Regler for spillet er dessverre gått tapt, men mye tyder på at spillet hadde en sosial funksjon i tillegg til underholdningsverdi. Axel Christoffersen, professor i arkeologi ved museet, antar at spillets mer rituelle funksjon opphørte med innføringen av kristendommen. Og at spillet etter den tid var knyttet til rent tidsfordriv.
The pieces on the picture is made of bones. They stem from the 1200s and are found other places in the city. The pieces looks to end in a pointy tip, possibly in order to place them in holes in the boar, so the pieces would stand up-side down, resembling a fist. This is a possible explanation to the origin of the name, where “nef”, the first part of the name, translates to neve in Norwegian and fist in English. In the Nordic countries is the Neftafl-game even older than chess, which most likely only was introduced in the 1100s. Neftafl was a strategy-game with several pieces. Rules for the game is unfortunately lost, but the game appears to have had a social function in addition to the entertainment value. Axel Christophersen, professor in Archeology at the museum, assumes that the ritual function ended with the introduction of Christianity and that the game has since then been used as a pastime.
