Attention: due to customs regulations we can only ship inside the European Union. Please ensure you have a valid EU shipping address before placing a bid.
Celtic silver amulet in the form of a stylised bird, possibly representing a waterfowl. The body is decorated on one side with multiple impressed ring-and-dot motifs, with an additional circular eye detail on the head. A large integral suspension loop rises from the back, while the reverse is largely undecorated.
-> Bird-shaped amulets formed part of the varied animal imagery used in Celtic personal ornamentation. The ring-and-dot decoration seen on this example is a recurring geometric motif on Celtic and other Iron Age metalwork.
Size: ± 27.1 x 16.2 mm
Condition
Good solid condition, wearable. Attractive dark patina with lighter areas and minor malachite surface deposits. Minor surface irregularities and signs of wear consistent with age and use.
Certificate of Authenticity (PDF) is available upon request for all lots with a hammer price of €100 or higher.
-> Birds could carry several symbolic meanings in Celtic culture. Waterbirds in particular moved between land, water and air, and may therefore have been associated with transition, travel and the connection between different realms.
-> In the Celtic and Roman world birds were seen as messengers from the divine and bringers of good or ill omen.
Druids, the spiritual leaders of the Celts, revered birds for their ability to soar high above the earth and communicate with the divine. They believed that their songs and flight patterns held hidden meanings.
A Roman augur observed the behaviour of birds to receive omens. Depending on the birds, the auspices from the gods could be favourable or unfavourable.re have been associated with transition, travel and the connection between different realms.
Catawiki disclaimer:
This object has been carefully examined for its material and surface characteristics.
Laboratory analysis (e.g. XRF) is not routinely undertaken in private collecting, and destructive testing is avoided as it causes permanent damage to archaeological material.
Before modern hallmarking, gold and silver alloys varied depending on local resources, recycling practices and economic conditions.
