Romano-British trumpet fibula according to a historical find. This detailed replica is based on typical clasps used in Roman Britain.
The fibula is referred to as a trumpet clasp due to its characteristic flared and curved shape, which resembles a musical instrument - a trumpet or horn. This type of buckle was typical of Romano-British culture in the British Isles.
Trumpet fibulae originated from Celtic models around the middle of the 2nd century AD during the Antonine period. They gradually became a popular piece of jewellery in Britain and spread to other parts of the Roman Empire along with Roman troops.
Fibulae served not only as a fastening for clothing, but also as a personal adornment and a sign of social status. The typical ornaments and flowing lines combine Roman craftsmanship with the Celtic artistic tradition.
