Heavy Genuine Ancient Roman(Province of Judaea) Engraved Bronze Bracelet Circa 0-100 A.D. Mounted into Display Plaque. CLASSIFICATION: Roman-Judaean Bronze Bracelet. ATTRIBUTION: Eastern Roman Empire(Judaea) 1st Century A.D. SIZE/MEASUREMENTS: Outside Diameter: 59* 56 millimeters. Inside Diameter: 52* 50 millimeters. Opening: 31 millimeters. Band Width: 7 millimeters. Band Thickness: 4 1/2 millimeters. Weight: 17.78 grams. Plaque Size: 28* 24 centimeters(11* 9 USA inches) ARTIFACT CONDITION: Fair. One fracture repaired. One end broken off. Heavy porosity(surface pitting caused by contact with earth while buried) Professionally conserved. DETAIL: A nearly intact. Heavy Roman bronze bracelet circa 1st century A.D. from the Province of Judaea. As you can see(with some difficulty, but look particularly at the middle of the bracelet and one end) the surface of the bracelet bears a fairly complex series chevrons(V” engraved into the top surface of the bracelet, done in such a manner that the point of the inverted“V” is at the very apex of the slightly crowned band, so one arm of the“V” drops to either side of the band. It was when created a fairly sophisticated and surely costly bracelet. The bracelet was not recovered entirely intact, as you can see, but originally it would have been of a reasonable good size considering the slight build of ancient Romans(the ancient population tended to be considerably smaller than contemporary populations) Originally the two ends of the bracelet would have come close to meeting one another. However the trailing ends of each side by their nature were quite thin and fairly fragile, and susceptible to loss through either breakage or corrosion. The tip of one of the two ends was broken off and lost in antiquity, or simple corroded away. The other side the end was fractured and then

Ancient European Bronze Age Winged Flanged Axe / Ax
This is one of the largest. Most beautiful, Middle Bronze Age axes we have seen in recent times. A beautiful copper alloy winged, flanged axe, dating to approximately 1400 B.C. The patination on this large Axe is exquisite- a brilliant turquoise patina. The Axe is of usual Bronze Age form. With curved blade edge and large wing like flanges. Unusually, the axe is notched at the back, where presumably the rope would have slotted in, maintaining the axe firmly in place. In antiquity. A wooden handle would have inserted snugly under the winged flanges, and would have been held in place by a thick rope. The piece was originally cast from a two-part mold. And hammered into shape- hammer marks are still visible on the body due to the exceptional preservation of the surface. Axes such as this would have been used to clear the forests of Early Europe ... morefor human habitation. They could also be used in battle and for religious purposes. As dedications. Indeed, these axes are often found in hoards throughout central Europe, where they are believed to have served a votive function. Length: 7 1/8 inches Width: 2 3/8 inches. Condition: Exceptional condition. Unrestored. Provenance: Ex. English private collection. Originally acquired on the German market in Munich, approximately 30 years ago.

Ancient Central European Bronze Age Sword - 1400 B.C.
A superb. Very large European Bronze Age sword, dating to around 1400 B.C. The weapon with double edged blade and prominant central mid rib. The hilt is recessed and pierced, designed to fit a wooden or bone handle in antiquity. This is the largest example we have seen on the market and would have made a truly formidable weapon when it was wielded in Bronze Age Central Europe. Length: 29 1/2 inches. Condition: Excellent. Minor loss to the end of the hilt. Unrestored. Provenance: Ex. German Art Market. Previously in the Glaf Klenau family collection, South Germany.

Ancient European Bronze Age Pre Celtic Reworked Spear Dagger Weapon - 800 BC
A fascinating. Well provenanced and rare ancient European Bronze Age reworked dagger, dating to approximately 800 BC. Of rare and unusual form. With a long ridged handle, slender blade and prominent central rib. Unusually, this piece appears to have originally been made as a spear head, subsequently broken(possibly in battle) and reworked into a dagger. Beating marks from this process of reworking are still clearly visible. Such weapons would have been used in battle by the early Celtic peoples and their predecessors. Indeed the period to which this artefact dates was characterized by migrations and invasions of warrior led groups across Europe. The late Bronze Age appears to have been a time of widespread warfare and social upheaval, ultimately carried on the back of weapons such as this. Length: 8 ½ inches. Condition: Very good.

Huffener was born in Utrecht in 1923. One of nine children. He soon became known for his artistic talents, most notably for his still lifes, portraits, and abstractionist works. Huffener, inspired by his father, also became immersed in the world of anti-fascist activism. Come the start of the war, he began traveling the Netherlands, helping Jews escape Nazi-occupied Europe by providing them with forged papers, and hiding them from their persecutors. This incredible bravery and selflessness was documented in The Other Schindlers by Agnes Grunwald-Spier(2010) and Huffener was honoured by Yad Vashem as'Righteous Among the Nations' in 1998. His wartime contributions were also commemorated posthumously in March 2010, when Prime Minister Gordon Brown awarded him the Hero of the Holocaust medal for"the service of humanity.

Many of these rulers would have been seen as demi-gods by other members of their tribe and their prestige is well evidenced by the remarkable affluence displayed in tombs from the period; gold plated shoes, gold-mounted drinking horns and large Greek cauldrons for alcohol consumption.

A Rare And Early Ancient European Bronze Age Flat Axe - 2300 BC
A beautiful and rare ancient European bronze flat axe of early form. Dating to around 2300- 2000 BC. This Bronze Age axe is of striking form. With subtly curved blade edges tapering into a long neck. Its style suggests it dates to the Mount Pleasant phase of the early Bronze Age. It was during this period that metalworking grew from its early stages into a widespread industry, initially using copper and gold but with bronze working appearing at the end. The distinctive form is complemented by an attractive deep green patina. This axe would have been forged by an itinerant craftsman. Who would have travelled long distances across the forests and farmland of ancient Europe to sell these most treasured of items. Cast from a simple two pieced stone mold, the axe would have then been hammered into shape. Flat stone anvils and hammers are known ... morefrom the graves of craftsmen dating from this period. Much early metalwork, like flintwork, required other materials to make the complete item. Bone and wooden handles for daggers and axes, and leather sheaths for edged tools would have been common, although largely now lost to us. Given its size. This axe is likely to have been used as a hand held tool, though it may have ultimately ended up being used in a religious context, as a dedication. Indeed these artefacts were often deposited in rivers, springs and bogs, likely because of connections with a watery underworld. Who exactly the gods of Northern European people were at this time is not known, but attention has been drawn to a series of carved wooden figures from wetland contexts across Britain that may be representations of divine beings. This fascinating piece encapsulates many aspects of Bronze Age life. From ritual and religious behaviours to the birth of the crucial bronzeworking industry. Length: 6 inches Condition: Good. Some wear commensurate with an ancient artefact. Unrestored. Provenance: Ex. Collection of C. F. Funes. NYC, acquired 1960's-1980's. Frank Funes served in the US army special forces in his e
Ancient European Bronze Age Flat Chisel Axe - 2300 BC
An ancient European Bronze Age flat chisel axe. Uncovered in the Rhone Valley in the late 19th century, dating to around 2300- 2000 BC. Of a sleek. Compact form, widening only subtly at the head, with raised ridges at the sides for slotting into a wooden handle. The head of the piece does not flare as dramatically as other flat axes from the period, suggesting this tool may have been used as a chisel. Exhibiting a beautiful malachite patina. In looking at this piece. We should not see just a functional object, but an artefact of particular ritual and religious significance. The fact that it has survived in this exceptional condition is not down to chance, rather it was carefully and intentionally buried, either for safekeeping or more likely as an offering. Metal was hard to obtain in the Bronze Age, only those of relative wealth could afford ... moreit, even fewer could afford to discard it in this way. What this artefact represents is the actions and hopes of a real individual living in the Rhone Valley over four thousand years ago. They held this tool in their hands. Stared at it one last time and then and buried it into the soft earth as a precious offering to an unknown god; perhaps for luck, a good harvest or in anticipation of the birth of a child. Length: 6 ½ inches. Condition: Good. Exhibiting a beautiful patina. Unrestored. Provenance: Previously in the collection of Comtesse de Broussiere. Said to have been found by her father Julian Greau, in the Rhone Valley towards the end of 19th century. The word Stelnarth is written in ink at the back of the piece.

Ancient European Iron Age Bronze Hallstatt Knife Blade - 800 BC
An ancient European Iron Age Halstatt bronze knife blade. Dating to 800– 600 BC. Sleek and elegant yet brutally efficient. This stunning bronze weapon must be amongst the finest examples of its type.

The tang is integral, pierced with four holes for attachment to a bone or wooden handle. The early Iron Age was a period of increased wealth in western and central Europe as powerful local chiefdoms emerged.

Prehistoric Ancient European Bronze Age Ritual Palstave Axe - 1200 BC
An exceptionally well preserved European prehistoric Bronze Age palstave axe. Dating to 1200- 1000 BC. An artefact of powerful elegance with curved blade edges and deep flanges. A wooden handle would originally have been inserted into the flanges. Held in place by a cord threaded through the integral loop. It is extremely rare to find an example such as this so well preserved, particularly the outer edges of the blade and the loop, which are most often broken off. In looking at this piece. We should not see just a functional object, but an artefact of particular ritual and religious significance. The fact that it has survived in this exceptional condition is not down to chance, rather it was carefully and intentionally buried, either for safekeeping or more likely as an offering. Metal was hard to obtain in the Bronze Age, only those of relative ... morewealth could afford it, even fewer could afford to discard it in this way. What this artefact represents is the actions and hopes of a real individual living over three thousand years ago. They held this tool in their hands. Stared at it one last time and then and buried it into the soft earth as a precious offering to an unknown god; perhaps for luck, a good harvest or in anticipation of the birth of a child. For a similar example currently with the British Museum. Length: 6 inches. Condition: Excellent. Unrestored. Provenance: Ex. British private collection. Acquired 1980's.

Ancient European Bronze Age Protective Duck Amulet - 1200 BC

With a loop at the top for attachment to a necklace. Pendants and protective amulets from the European Bronze Age are rare. This cast bronze example is a fascinating remnant of spiritual beliefs from the period.

A superb. Elegant ancient European Bronze Age artefact, dating to 1400- 1100 BC. A beautiful remnant of ancient European metalworking styles. This stunning penannular bronze torc has an attractive twisted decoration. Worn around the neck by the Bronze Age tribes that inhabited Western and Northern Europe. These highly artistic torcs are amongst the most magnificent finds from the period. Europe in the late Bronze Age was a vibrant place. A place of innovative energy and mobility, where exchange networks stretched from the high Alpine passes of northern Italy to the frozen shores of the Baltic. This piece was forged during an era in which ambitious young men travelled throughout Europe to explore the wider world. Echoes of this martial culture resound through the works of Homer.

Ancient European Bronze Age Jewelry Spiral Pendant Brooch - 1000 BC
A beautifully preserved central European Bronze Age brooch. Dating to around 1000 BC. This stunning piece is a wonderful example of the flowing, spiral forms that dominated late Bronze Age metalworking across Europe. The piece has been expertly cast into two conjoined spirals of wired disc. Each meeting in a tight band at the centre and hammered into shape. The late Bronze Age in Europe saw a flourishing of jewellery made in this style. The result is highly arresting in its simple, yet striking form. As opposed to being purely decorative, it is likely this motif had further ritual or supernatural connotations which are now lost to us. The late Bronze Age was an age of increased wealth in central Europe as powerful local chiefdoms emerged. Controlling the redistribution of luxury goods to and from the classical Mediterranean world. Their prestige ... moreis well evidenced by the remarkable affluence displayed in tombs from the period; gold plated shoes, gold-mounted drinking horns and large cauldrons for alcohol consumption. The elites clearly had a taste for precious metals and Mediterranean wines. European populations were said by Greek writers to favour ostentatious ornaments to denote their high rank, and this striking artefact would have served just such a purpose. Length: 2 7/8 inches. Condition: Excellent. Beautifully preserved and unrestored. Provenance: Formerly in the collection of Mr. Donovan. Acquired 1980's. Please note: This is a genuine Bronze Age artefact.

Ancient European Bronze Age Urnfield Culture Wheel Amulet / Pendant - 1200 BC
An extremely rare Bronze Age European Urnfield Culture bronze wheel pendant. Dating to around 1200- 1000 BC. Cast in a single piece in the form of an abstract wheel. With two arms reaching out below and an loop for attachment to a necklace at the top. The Urnfield Culture was one of rich ritual symbolism. And, at its heart, lay the wheel. Europe during this period was a vibrant place; commodities and people explored the continent at a rate never before seen and with them flowed ideas. The symbolism of the wheel drawn chariot could be found on the stelae of southern Iberia, carved into the mountain passes of northern Italy and on the shores of southern Sweden. Its meaning is not entirely clear. But some scholars have posited that to the people of Bronze Age Europe, the wheel represented the journey. Perhaps the journey through life, the exploratory ... morespirit that ran through Urnfield society or even the journey of the sun across the sky. What we do know is that to the individual who wore this pendant, it was an image of immense power, it now stands as a rare remnant of ancient European art and beliefs.

Valuable Ancient European Bronze Age Spiral Fibula Brooch Sculpture - 1000 BC
A large and beautifully preserved central European Bronze Age spiral fibula. Dating to 800- 700 BC. The stunning form and symmetry of this fibula elevates it from a simple brooch to a decorative artwork of great quality. A highly decorative and extremely fine ancient display piece.

The piece has been expertly forged into two conjoined spirals of wired disc, meeting in a pair of tight coils at the centre which form a figure of eight at the back. The original pin and catch plate are still fully intact and in place. Very little art from the European Bronze Age survives to us today. Yet artefacts such as this give us an idea of the motifs that would have been ubiquitous in daily life; carved into wooden objects and tattooed onto bodies. The conjoined spiral is amongst ... morethe oldest of images from ancient Europe. Prevalent as early as the Neolithic, and likely had significant ritual or supernatural connotations which are now lost to us. Mounted in this way. The artefact becomes not just a functional item of everyday use, but a distinctly sculptural piece of Bronze Age art redolent with meaning. Height mounted: 6 1/2 inches. Height alone: 4 1/8 inches. Condition: Excellent. A high quality example preserved with the original pin. Unrestored. Please note that this piece will arrive with a beautiful.

Ancient European Prehistoric Bronze Age Looped Winged Axe - 1400 BC
A rare and striking Bronze Age bronze looped and winged axe with an interesting provenance. Dating to around 1400 BC. A weapon of powerful elegance. This axe is of a form prevalent across Europe during the Bronze Age; of classic form, with curved blade edge and large wing like flanges. A wooden handle would originally have been inserted into the flanges, held in place by a cord threaded through the metal loop. Axes such as this would have been used to clear the forests of Bronze Age Europe for human habitation. They are often found in hoards throughout Europe. Some are believed to have been buried for safekeeping, whilst others are believed to have served a votive function. Many of them have been found in rivers and boglands, they were likely deposited in these contexts because of connections with a watery underworld. Who exactly the gods ... moreof ancient European people were at this time is not known, but attention has been drawn to a series of carved wooden figures from wetland contexts that may be representations of divine beings. This fascinating piece encapsulates many aspects of ancient European life. From ritual and religious behaviours to the development of the crucial bronze working industry.
