Brooch in the shape of a seahorse or dragon.
The brooch was widespread in Celtic culture after the conquest of England in the 1st century AD among the British population.
This detailed replica of a so-called dragonesque brooch, thought to depict a seahorse, represents a Romano-British type of brooch that became popular in the crafts of Britain during the first century due to the Roman invasion of England.
The Dragonesque brooch combines basic Celtic elements with Roman influences. This type of brooch was widespread in the English region and was used to fasten garments and cloaks.
In ancient times, seahorses were believed to pull the chariots of the sea gods and were therefore associated with the gods Neptune and Poseidon.
- Dimensions of the brooch: 5,5 x 5 cm.
