Replica of a bow brooch from the Latène period.
Iron brooches were typical of Celtic garments from the Latène period, and were widespread in the time before the birth of Christ.This Celtic bow brooch is based on a historical model from the 3rd - 1st century BC and is typical of the garment clasps of the Latène period.
The bow brooch is formed into a spiral at the apex, which gives the needle the necessary tension - very similar to a modern safety pin, but far more elegant.
This form of brooch was used by the Celts of the Latène period mainly to close the peplos, the Celtic women's garment. The brooches were always worn in pairs on the shoulders. Used individually, the brooch was also used to close the cloak.
You can buy this brooch in high-quality bronze or genuine silver-plated.
Alternatively, also available in 925 sterling silver (please note the delivery time).
