Lot 1169:
TWO ROMAN BRONZE SWASTIKA FIBULAE
Roman period, Balkan area, c. 3rd-4th century AD.
Lot of two roman bronze swastika fibulae with the depiction of a stylised horse's head on each arm of the hooked cross.
Dimensions: both 36 mm. Both fibulae are missing the swastika arm opposite the spring from which the pin starts (one is missing the pin as well). A deliberate defunctionalisation cannot be excluded. The ends of the garment clips, shaped like horse heads, may be due to the influence of the inhabitants of Thrace or Dacia.
