**Originally Listed At $600**
Central Europe, Germany and Austria, Danube River Basin, Eastern Hallstatt culture, ca. 8th to 6th century BCE. A fine set of two nearly-identical bronze bracelets, each one formed from a singular coiled piece of bronze with a raised central midrib. Perhaps made for a child based on the size, the shorter arm band boasts 11 coils and the taller with 12 full coils. The tight spiral form was a markedly popular style of late Bronze Age and Iron Age Europe. Often buried with women or children of high social status, bracelets like these were symbolic of the status of the deceased and are common finds in dig sites across Central Europe. Lovely areas of forest-green patina give these bracelets an even more beautiful appearance. Size of largest (12 coils): 2.125" W x 5" H (5.4 cm x 12.7 cm).
Hallstatt culture developed from the earlier Urnfield culture, and would progress into the later La Tene culture, which is often called Celtic. However, these names and classifications have been imposed upon ancient peoples by archaeologists and historians (Hallstatt, for example, takes its name from the type site, which is in Austria southeast of Salzburg). 2700 years ago, these people lived in small groups, probably loosely confederated for trading purposes but engaging in frequent warfare.
Provenance: The Dere Family Collection, New York, USA, assembled 1970s-2000s; ex-Madame Frances Artuner Collection, Belgium, acquired in 1960s
