Item Details

Description

Northern Greece, Thrace, ca. 9th to 7th century BCE. A fabulous and intact spectacle or double spiral fibula formed by a single elongated wire, that was meticulously twisted in a rotational fashion to create this iconic pattern. The terminal tips of the wire are in the center of each spiral and the wire's midpoint joins the 2 spirals in an elegant, high arch. Fibulae were used for pinning cloaks and clothing at the shoulder. Ornate ones, such as this, adorned the wealthy and elite and were often buried with their owners to accompany them in the afterlife. The terminal tips slightly protrude from the centers and may have once formed a pin and clasp to use this massive piece as a fibula. Size: 1.6" W x 2.9" H (4.1 cm x 7.4 cm); 3.2" H (8.1 cm) on included custom stand.
