Roman Bronze Chest Latches - Matched Pair

Item Details

Description

Roman, Imperial period, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. A beautiful matched pair of cast bronze chest latches, each a long, rectangular shape, with one end folded over to form a hook and the other end terminating in a flourish. The face of each is incised and stippled with pretty motifs of blooming flowers with large leaves. A small hole drilled through the folded over top of each allowed it to be attached to a chest, while small hooks at the ends of the flourishes probably served as attachments for latches. Each is sturdy, but, because of its decoration, conveys a pretty delicateness, and together they provide a vision of what a Roman wooden chest would have looked like. Size: 1.2" W x 5.6" H (3 cm x 14.2 cm); 6.95" H (17.7 cm) on included custom stand.
