Seller's Note/ Oh my goodness, what a delightful fibula this is! The Celtic smith who cast this brooch did a superb rendition from his view; note the overall shape, big eyes, long snout, bulging stomach and horse's ears (of course). At the terminal end he actually managed to include a vestige of a seahorses curled-up tail. Completely remarkable!
