Brooch, Celtic, Zoomorphic Seahorse, c. 1st Cent BC - 1st Cent AD

Copper alloy, 42mm/8.1gm

Con/ Missing pin and spring, otherwise, As Fabricated; dark green patina

Ref/ None found in common resources

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!
