Figure, man with headdress, spear and shield
This figure was later partially re-melted, possibly during the pillaging during the conquest. It shows a squatting man. His equipment with a large shield, a cutting weapon (?) in his hand, armor (?) and a bell around his neck makes an interpretation as a military commander plausible. The military was as strictly hierarchically organized as the rest of society. Within a few days, according to European sources (Dappert), up to 80,000 soldiers could be mobilized. Text: Dietmar Neitzke.
