恩施猫儿堡出土明代金银首饰解读

The Deign of Gold and Silver Jewelry of the Ming Dynasty Unearthed in Mao'erpu,Enshi

恩施猫儿堡出土明代金银首饰一组二十余件,用材讲究、做工精细、式样丰富,是湖北明代藩王墓之外不多见的一批实物资料。遗憾的是并非科学发掘,因此缺失相关的信息,只是推测出土地点为一处土司家族墓地。仅就这批金饰本身来说,至少可以断定此非有力者莫办,或是官宦,或是富绅。鬓钗、挑心、满冠、花头簪子,正是明代女子头面一副的基本构成。选取的题材和式样,皆为明代中后期所广泛流行。

A set of more than 20 pieces of Ming Dynasty gold and silver jewelry unearthed in Mao'erpu,Enshi.This batch of jewelry is exquisite in materials,exquisite workmanship,and rich in styles,which is a rare batch of physical materials except for the materials from tombs of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty in Hubei.Unfortunately,it was not a scientific excavation,so related information was missing.It was only speculated that the site was a Tusi family cemetery.As far as this batch of gold ornaments is concerned,at least it can be concluded that non-powerful person cannot handle it,so the owner is either an official or a wealthy gentry.The hairpin,the heart-pick,the full crown,and the flower-head hairpin were the basic components of the ornaments worn on women's heads in the Ming Dynasty.The selected themes and styles of the jewelry were widely popular in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.
