Description from the seller
Iron Age Bronze Arm Ring – Unadorned Arm Ring with a D-shaped Cross-section
Culture: Iron Age / Celtic cultural area
Material: Bronze
Dating: presumably Iron Age, by typological comparanda roughly Hallstatt to early La Tène period
Type: unadorned arm ring with a D-shaped cross-section
Condition: age-appropriate, with a beautiful natural greenish patina
Description
A beautiful and impressive Iron Age arm ring made of bronze with a simple, unadorned appearance. The arm ring has a nearly circular to slightly oval course and a thick, round to D-shaped cross-section.
The ends are open and cut straight. The surface shows a pronounced green to turquoise patina, sometimes with darker and earthy deposits. The patina and signs of wear give the piece an authentic archaeological character.
The present arm ring corresponds typologically to the “unadorned arm ring with a D-shaped cross-section” described in the illustrated specialist literature. Comparable forms are classified in the Iron Age in the literature and occur especially in Central Europe.
An interesting object for a collection of Celtic or Iron Age bronzes and ancient jewelry.
Please note: Dating and cultural assignment are based on external appearance and typological comparison. No scientific material analysis or authenticity testing has been performed.
Condition
Age-appropriate condition with clear natural patina, surface changes and signs of use. No modern restoration detectable. Please consider the photos as part of the description; they show the actual condition of the piece on offer.
