Period: \u003cstrong\u003eEarly Middle Ages, c. 600-900 CE\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnglo-Saxon household troops drilled against fixed posts the same way Roman legionaries did at the \u003cem\u003epalus\u003c\/em\u003e. Each man worked his cuts and parries against the post for an hour at a time — sword, shield, spear butt, axe. The rope wrap at chest height took most of the punishment, replaced every few weeks by the carpenter. Chip scars at face and shin height tell the rest of the story. This piece sculpts a single mountable post with rope wrap and chip detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePainting tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePost: weathered oak, lighter chip scars where wood is exposed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRope: tan with sepia wash, darker where wear has rubbed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBase: dirty, mud-ground splash up the first 10mm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistorical sources \u0026amp; further reading\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVegetius, De Re Militari (Roman pala drill, inherited)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWest Stow yard reconstructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003e⚠ Small parts.
