Summary

Description

Dette relikvieskrinet kommer fra Melhus i Overhalla. Det er lite og grunnflaten måler bare 12 x 8 centimeter. Veggene er laget av barlind delvis dekket med bronseplater. Bronseplatene er bare delvis bevart. De runde platene er laget i tinn. Sammen med relikvieskrinet er det funnet et gullbelagt bronsebeslag, som sannsynligvis også har stått på en kirkelig gjenstand. Relikvieskrinet dukket opp i fra bakken i 1906, da to gutter lekte på en gravhaug på gården Melhus i Overhalla. Når museet undersøkte haugen, fant de to graver. En mann og en dame som hadde blitt begravd sammen i en båt i tillegg til flere verdifulle gjenstander. Dette relikvieskrinet virker som om det har tilhørt kvinnen.

Vikinger fra Trøndelag var sannsynligvis med på den første vikingtokta på britiske kirker og kloster på 700 tallet. Dette relikvieskrinet på bildet støtter denne teorien. Kvinnen som ble gravlagt rundt år 800, rett etter det først dokumenterte raidet utført av vikinger på øya Lindisfarne i Storbritannia i 793. Historisk, var dette angrepet det som markerte begynnelsen på Vikingtida, og denne graven var en av de tidligste bevis på en sammenheng mellom Norge og de britiske øyer.


This reliquary stems from Melhus, Overhalla. It is small and the base measures only 12 x 8 centimeter. The walls are made out of yew covered by bronze plates, which is only partially preserved. The circled plates are made out of tin. Together with the reliquary, it was found a gold-layered bronze-cover, possibly also an object connected with an object from the church. The reliquary appeared from the ground in 1906 when two boys were playing at a burial mound at the farm in Melhus, Overhalla. When investigating the mound, the museum found two graves. A man and a woman had been buried together in a boat together with several valuable artifacts; this reliquary appeared to belong to the woman Vikings from Trøndelag (the region encompassing Trondheim) was probably part of the first pillaging raids on British churches and convicts in the end of the 700s. This reliquary on the picture supports this theory. The woman was buried around the year 800, just after the first documented raid committed by Vikings against at the island Lindisfarne in Great Britain in 793. Historically, this attack has marked the beginning of the Viking age, and this grave is one of the earliest proof of any connection between Norway and the British Isles.
