AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
We present a beautiful Celtic amulet, made of bronze, used by the Celtic tribes in Europe approximately between the 7th and 1st centuries BCE. Although today it is commonly worn as a pendant, in ancient times it had multiple roles such as a medium of exchange, a symbol of status and wealth, spiritual value, or protection.
These tend to be smooth and of various thicknesses. They are often found in sets (treasures), reinforcing the idea that they were a standardized way of preserving value. Undoubtedly a exquisite piece for collectors.
A declaration sheet is provided.
