Ancient Roman Bronze Brooch / Mount Depicting a Horse – c. 1st–3rd Century AD An authentic Ancient Roman bronze brooch or decorative mount depicting a stylised horse, an animal closely associated in Roman culture with strength, mobility, status, and military power. Horse imagery was commonly used on personal adornments, fittings, and small decorative objects throughout the Roman world. The piece is cast in bronze and displays a pleasingly abstracted form, with pierced openings that reduce weight and add visual rhythm. The surface shows natural patination and mineral accretions, consistent with significant age and long burial. The brooch has been carefully adapted into a wearable pendant and is presented on a modern 17-inch faux leather cord, fitted with a discreet modern suspension loop. The ancient object itself remains unaltered.
