Kraftig Profilierte-type Zoomorphic Brooch, 1st Cent. AD

Copper alloy, 64mm/17.0gm

Con/ The spring and pin are modern, otherwise, about As Fabricated; cleaned and waxed; eye-pleasing dark bronze patina; wearable with care

Ref/ None - Hattatt does not reference any K/P type brooch with any zoomorphic representations.

Seller's Note/ Over the years we have held in hand scores of K/P type brooches but very few with a bird; this is only the second example.

If you are brooch/fibulae collector, this rare gem is perfect for your collection.
