Description

Rare ancient Romano - Celtic solid silver zoomorphic fibula brooch, finely hand shaped in the form of a wild boar. Roman Empire 1st-2nd century AD. The fibula is not cast like most Roman and Celtic fibulas but is entirely handmade. The boar and the base are hand-cut from solid silver plaque, hand sculptured, and then chiseled with fine details. Also, the attachment pin is entirely handmade.

In Celtic mythology, the wild boar represents the Celtic God "Moccus," who is identified with Mercury. He is a boar or a swine, the God of the Celtic tribes in Celtic culture. The wild boar also symbolizes spiritual authority, a representation commonly associated with the Druids caste. Wild boar symbols were often placed on the swords, shields, and helmets of Celtic warriors. Boar statues can also be found alongside statues of armed warriors.

CONDITION: Intact with attachment pin at rear. Free of repairs.

DIMENSIONS: Overall length: 5.3 cm (2.09 inches). Height: 3 cm (1.18 inches). WEIGHT: 14.8 grams
