Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $250**

Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. A beautiful bronze brooch, nicely preserved and with a pretty patina, bearing a dramatic openwork sun wheel motif on its face.

Size: 1.1" W x 1.8" H (2.8 cm x 4.6 cm)

Provenance: private Tennessee, USA collection; ex-private German collection, before 2000
