收藏资源简介：
Title Dragon slayer capital Artist Unknown Date About 1130 Medium Limestone Dimensions x Accession # PE 1981,0703.1 Credit Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, England Medieval Europe - 1050-1500 In medieval Europe, monarchy and the Church were the two most important institutions. Throughout the period they competed for political supremacy. Society was based on a feudal system, where the majority of people were peasants working the land for their lord. However, the rapid growth of towns and an influential merchant class stimulated properity and changed traditional social structures. This carving shows a man and a mythical beast engaging in combat. The man, wearing a short tunic, stands astride the dragon's tail, grips its neck and thrusts a spear into its breast. This is likely to be an allegory of the human struggle against evil. The carving was found in the monestary of Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk, where it may have been part of a doorway. This object is part of Scan The World.

标题：屠龙者柱头（Dragon Slayer Capital） 创作者：佚名 创作年代：约公元1130年 创作媒材：石灰岩（Limestone） 尺寸：未注明 入藏编号：PE 1981,0703.1 来源：英格兰萨福克郡伯里圣埃德蒙兹 中世纪欧洲（1050-1500年） 在中世纪欧洲，君主制与教会是两大核心权力机构，二者在整个历史时期内始终角逐政治霸权。彼时社会以封建制度为根基，绝大多数民众为依附于领主的农奴，以耕作土地维持生计。然而城镇的迅猛崛起与颇具影响力的商人阶层，不仅刺激了社会经济的繁荣，更重塑了传统社会结构。 这件雕刻作品展现了一名男子与神兽缠斗的场景。男子身着短束腰外衣，跨坐于龙尾之上，一手紧扼龙颈，一手持矛刺入龙的胸腔。该作品大概率是人类对抗邪恶主题的寓言式表达。这件雕刻出土于萨福克郡伯里圣埃德蒙兹的修道院，或曾为修道院门饰的一部分。 该藏品隶属于扫描世界（Scan The World）项目。扫描世界是MyMiniFactory推出的非营利性倡议项目，旨在打造全球范围内可免费公开获取的、支持全3D打印的雕塑、艺术品与地标建筑数字档案库。本项目为开源社区协作项目，若您身边有值得分享的藏品，可发送邮件至stw@myminifactory.com了解参与方式。 扫描方式：摄影测量法（采用Agisoft PhotoScan软件进行后期处理）
