Seller's Note/ The condition of this brooch is fantastic as most have been plow-broken over the years and the pin still moves! Although such brooches are considered to be Roman, the lovely sinuosity certainly reflects a sound Celtic influence. Perfect for discerning brooch/fibulae collectors!

If would care to add this brooch with a similarly styled belt plate that was certainly worn by a Celtic soldier serving in the Roman army, Click here!
