- Lot Description
Ancient Central to Eastern Europe, Bronze Age, ca. 10th to 11th century BCE. A magnificent bronze pendant cast into 4 pieces and assembled as a massive ornament or pectoral of a symmetrical and geometric shape. The lower piece is an openwork of circular motifs like the spokes of a heel, with short conical point in the center of both. Atop the edge are tabs with suspension holes and a ring welded through the hole and connected to the verso of the 2 central rondel pieces like a hinge. The upper half is also attached to the rondel rings and comprised of flattened parallel and horizontal bars, and a pair of double axe shaped panels that form an open work circle. A thicker arched band at the top serves as the suspension loop of this unusual piece which may have functioned as a standard or cart ornament. Size: 5.75" L x 8.75" H (14.6 cm x 22.2 cm); 10.25" H (26 cm) on included custom stand.
