P 18. GRAB 832. Taf. 28: 14. Viereckiger Zierknoten, ungewöhnlich gross, hergestellt aus grobem doppeltem Spiralsilberfaden. War vermutlich an irgendeinem jetzt vermoderten Stoff gleich P 16 und 17 befestigt, bevor er an dem Holzgriff eines Messers anklebte. 19 x 20 mm.

P 18. GRAVE 832. Plate 28: 14. Square decorative knot, unusually large, made of coarse double spiral silver thread. Was presumably attached to some now decomposed fabric similar to P 16 and 17, before it stuck to the wooden handle of a knife. 19 x 20 mm.

Original text (DE):

GRAB 832. M. Wahrsch. um 900. Auf dem Plan (Skelett vernichtet) sind auf beiden Seiten der grossen Ringnadel (ungef. auf den Schultern) zwei identische Figuren in der Form eines A gezeichnet. Weiter oben (über dem Kopf oder am Hals) eine Reihe kleiner Knoten in der Längsrichtung. Diese Bänder sind wahrscheinlich mit den Knötchenborten aus Spiralsilber, P 10 u. P 12, zu identifizieren, die jetzt in bedeutenden Mengen zusammengeknittert in Erdklumpen liegen. Weiter unten, vielleicht am Gürtel, lag der Goldhirsch (St 16), und die „Flitter-Stickerei” St 26 nebst mehreren Glimmerstückchen. Zwischen diesen und dem Messer, woran der Silberknoten P 18 haftete, lief ein jetzt verschwundenes Band. Das auf dem Plan nicht eingezeichnete kleine Tier St 18 lag wahrscheinlich hier. Ein Klumpen enthielt Reste von Pelz.

English translation (AI generated):

GRAVE 832. M. Probably around 900. On the plan (skeleton destroyed), two identical A-shaped figures are drawn on both sides of the large ring pin (approximately on the shoulders). Further up (above the head or at the neck), a row of small knots in the longitudinal direction. These bands are probably to be identified with the knotted borders of spiral silver, P 10 and P 12, which now lie crumpled together in significant quantities in clumps of earth. Further down, perhaps at the belt, lay the gold deer (St 16), and the 'sequin embroidery' St 26 along with several pieces of mica. Between these and the knife, to which the silver knot P 18 was attached, ran a band that has now disappeared. The small animal St 18, not drawn on the plan, was probably located here. One clump contained remains of fur.
