Rare large Roman bronze crossbow fibula brooch

1 of 3
A Roman bronze crossbow fibula brooch which is much larger than the usual size. The fibula has typical onion shaped terminals, the bow is plain, but the foot is finely decorated with incised scrolls to the centre which mirror the cast scrolls to the edges. Complete with original pin.
Note: The size is rare, since most such brooches are in the region of 5.5-7.5 cms (2-3 ins).
Circa 4th century AD.
Condition: Very Fine: complete and intact with good bronze, with even, light green patination.
Length 10.8 cms (4.25 ins).
For similar examples of the type see 502-505 Iron-age and Other Brooches Richard Hattatt.
Provenance: Acquired from JS Fine Art, item no.3345. Property of a Shropshire private collector.
Context: The fibula was an ancient brooch. Their function was not only decorative, but they also originally served a practical function, to fasten clothing such as cloaks. All our items are supplied with an illustrated certificate of authenticity (COA) which will act as as a guarantee that all items are authentic and dated to the period stated.
All our items include shipping to mainland UK.
Buyers outside the UK and non-mainland UK need to email us for postage costs before buying. Overseas buyers need to check that the item they intend buying can be imported into their country and will be responsible for paying any customs and/or tax charges.
