Near East / Western Asia, Parthian or possibly Achaemenid, ca. late 1st millennium BCE; Romano-British, Imperial Period, ca. 1st Century CE. A lovely set of 3 metal fibulae: 1 Parthian or Achaemenid and 2 Romano British. Made from tin lead alloy, the first brooch is in the form of a sheep shown striding in profile with a thick, striped body as it lifts its petite head. The second fibula is Romano British and cast from bronze to display the form of a trumpet. Also Romano British, the last example presents the form of a dragon with a sinuous body, long snout, and flared tail. Both Romano-British pieces are adorned with cobalt and scarlet enamel. Size (of largest): 2.375" W x 2" H (6 cm x 5.1 cm)
Provenance: ex-Estate of Eldert Bontekoe, Pegasi Numismatics, Ann Arbor, Michigan USA, acquired before 2000
