5 Villanovan / Etruscan Bronze Fibulae Brooches

Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $400**

Central Europe, northern Italy, Villanovan culture, ca. 9th to 8th century BCE; Tuscany, Etruscan culture, ca. 7th century BCE. A collection of 5 cast bronze fibulae brooches, the thicker, curving arcs are somewhat reminiscent of bows, boats, and/or leeches, hence the name "navicella" or "sanguisuga" brooches. Fibulae such as these are found almost exclusively in the graves of women from the later Villanovan and Etruscan period, although the Greeks seems to have imitated the Etruscan examples in the 7th century BCE. Fibulae were used as stylized clothing pins to cinch closed long, flowing garments worn by wealthy or aristocratic people. Size: 5.8" L x 1.8" W (14.7 cm x 4.6 cm)

Provenance: East Coast collection, New York Gallery, New York City, New York, USA, acquired before 2010

All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
