A Bronze Spiral Earring with Ancient Celtic Motifs, 1st Century B.C.

Item Details

Description

This earring is a testament to the intricate metalwork of the ancient Celts, known for their complex spiral and geometric patterns that hold significance in their art and spirituality. The compact size and elaborate design suggest it was created as a personal ornament, likely to denote status or tribal affiliation. The artistry displayed in the bronze spiral motifs is characteristic of Celtic craftsmanship from the 1st Century B.C., a period marked by skilled metallurgy and cultural richness. Such items were often worn during significant tribal ceremonies and reflected the wearer's rank within their society. Given its preserved condition and historical value, this piece would be a remarkable addition to any collection of ancient artifacts or Celtic antiquities.

Length: 3 cm (1.18 inches)
Width: 1 cm (0.39 inches)

Provenance:
Previously owned by N. O'Sullivan, an Irish collector of Celtic antiquities, since the late 19th century.
Acquired by a private collector in Dublin, 1932.

Keywords:
Celtic, 1st Century B.C., Bronze Earring, Spiral, Geometric, Ancient Jewelry, Personal Ornament, Metalwork, Artisan Craftsmanship, Tribal Ceremonies, Historical Artifact, Antiquity, Status Symbol, European History, Archaeological Find, Cultural Richness, Preservation, Collector's Item, Tribal Affiliation, Ancient Celt.
