Celta Bronze Fíbula arqueada (Sem preço de reserva)

Gracefully arched and expertly balanced, this impressive bronze bow fibula exemplifies the enduring elegance of Late Iron Age dress fasteners. The high curved bow is strengthened by a series of finely moulded collars that create a rhythmic architectural profile, while the broad trumpet-like terminals provide both visual weight and structural stability. The surviving bronze surface has developed an attractive green archaeological patina, a natural result of centuries of burial that enhances the sculptural character of the piece. The long iron pin remains largely intact, preserving the original fastening mechanism that once secured heavy woolen cloaks or garments. Bow fibulae served both practical and symbolic purposes throughout Iron Age Europe. Beyond fastening clothing, they displayed status, craftsmanship, and regional identity. Their arching form has often been interpreted as representing strength, protection, and continuity, making them among the most recognizable forms of ancient personal adornment. The restrained geometric mouldings and harmonious proportions closely reflect fibula traditions associated with Celtic metalworking of the Late Iron Age, while also sharing characteristics seen in neighboring European cultures.
