Description


First time at auction…

Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to 4th century CE. A cast-leaded-brass fibula or brooch in the shape of a crossbow, so called due to its cruciform shape.

A pin still remains in its original housing on the verso but cannot be articulated for wear. Size: 2.04" W x 3.16" H (5.2 cm x 8 cm)

Provenance: private San Francisco, California, USA collection, acquired 1970s to 2000s
