AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Ancient Rare Celtic Druid Amulet - "Infinity".Excellent condition.

About the item itself: This remarkable artifact represents a significant part of Celtic heritage, reflecting both ancient trading practices and spiritual beliefs. It was used as a form of proto-currency and was also worn by the Druids due to its simple, "eternal" round shape—a shape deeply rooted in the most important Celtic symbols. It has a regular shape with a beautiful patina on the surface, almost unblemished by time.
Who were the Druids? Druids were priests and religious leaders among the ancient Celtic peoples, also serving as judges, physicians, astronomers, and keepers of knowledge. They were educated people who passed on knowledge orally, practiced herbal medicine, divination, and preserved oral traditions and mythological poems.
This round bronze amulet symbolizes the eternal movement of life, unity, and immortality. Such amulets are used as talismans to protect the wearer from negative energy and the evil eye.
Before the advent of coins, gold, silver, and bronze ring money was used in the Celtic lands of the Danube, France, England, and Ireland. Sometimes the simple ring shape evolved into complex forms, reminiscent of wheels (Gaul), gears, star-shaped rings, and interlocking rings.
Excellent condition, intact. Signs of wear consistent with age and use. Beautiful smooth dark green patina Wearable. 100% original.The pendant will be delivered with a leather jewelry cord with a carabiner.
Look at many photos for your own impression.
Size : 22 x 4.0 mm.
Weight: 8.00 grams.
The item was purchased in 2015 in Barcelona, ​​Spain from G.A. as part of a private Spanish collection dating back to the 1980s.
