- Lot Description
Western Europe, Celtic peoples, ca. 2nd century BCE. A stunning - and I mean STUNNING - pair of matching Celtic glass bracelets - each one a convex band mold-formed to attain an attractive design comprised of five outcurved, contiguous tubular bands - the centermost raised the highest while the others are gradually set back. The two bands surrounding the center band are ridged - presenting a rhythmic fretted pattern, while the other three bands are smooth. The color of the glass is a golden yellow; however, gorgeous iridescence has added highlights of silver, pink, and green. Adding more interest to the pair, their interiors are painted yellow. Size: larger measures 3.375" in diameter (8.6 cm); opening measures 2.875" in diameter (7.3 cm); 1.375" H (3.5 cm); 4.875" H (12.4 cm) on included custom stand.
For a similar example now at the Naturhistorisches Museum in Vienna, see no. 355 in V. Kruta et al., "The Celts."
