Ancient European Bronze Age double bronze Spiral brooch / fibula. The spectacle fibula is formed from a single bronze wire, tightly coiled into two counter-rotating spirals, connected by two short loops.

Likely used as a dress fitting or decorative clasp, this piece reflects a characteristic Bronze Age aesthetic that emphasised symmetry, spiral motifs, and skilful metalworking. A well-made and attractive example of Bronze Age craftsmanship.

Size: ± 96,1 x 43,3 mm
Condition: well-preserved and solid condition with attractive dark olive-green patina. The pin is partially still present on the reverse. Signs of wear consistent with age and use.

The spiral is one of the oldest symbols of human spirituality. Spiral motifs appear in ancient carvings and painted rock art dating back thousands of years The infinite, twisting spiral was a favourite of the ancient Greeks and Celts and has continued to influence artists, thinkers and designers for millennia.

It is thought to represent growth, expansion, cosmic energy and a symbol of the sun, and it has been suggested to be linked to birth or rebirth. Spirals have been found in burial sites, in vases, in jewellery, clothing, weapons and buildings.

Throughout history, the spiral has been a highly valued design in Roman, Anglo-Saxon, and Viking art, and continues to be appreciated to this day.
