A seldom encountered and fabulously rare roman ladies owl bronze cloak brooch.
This item which dates to circa 2nd century AD, is without a doubt one of the rarest brooches encountered.
This piece shows excellent facial and body detail.
The original fastening pin to the rear has been lost in antiquity ,but that is how this piece was likely lost over eighteen hundred years ago...
A rare opportunity to acquire this stunning survivor from the Roman period.
Norfolk excavations in 1971.
Ex.private collection in the early 1970s.
As with all of my antiquities and coins this item comes complete with a display box together with a certificate of authenticity.
