manipule de bouclier

Saint-Dizier (52) - Musée Municipal

© Musée de Saint-Dizier, C. Philippot

The manipule is made of a thin iron sheet, maintained by two iron rivets. Traces of wood on the back of the rivets and in the hollow part of the handle. The wood in the hollow part of the handle may correspond to a wooden handle (covered with leather?). The handle is not repositionable on the umbo because of the deformations. Works with the umbo object 11. - 1 fragment of a rectangular section rod could be a remnant of a manipule branch. - 1 fragment of an iron rivet with a square head (dim. 1 cm) could be linked to a repair of the maniple ? -1 fragment of a thick quadrangular section rod (remainder of a nail or rivet?)
