Description
**Originally Listed At $400**
Northern Europe / Central Asia, Finno-Ugric culture, ca. 5th century CE. A long, thin, curved piece of bronze made for fishing, with a spiked end. The Finno-Ugric people lived in west central Siberia, from modern day Perm north to the Arctic Sea. They freely took artistic influence from those who came before them, like the Scytho-Siberians, and from colonists from the west, like the Vikings, but developed their own style that archaeologists know from graves scattered throughout the taiga. This small tool demonstrates the simple elegance of their artwork. Size: 0.9" W x 4.6" H (2.3 cm x 11.7 cm)
Provenance: private Orange County, California, USA collection
All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany all winning bids.
