Ancient Roman

Bronze archaeological fastener with a double oval ring Declared provenance: Roman archaeological context. Material: Copper alloy or cast bronze. Description for auction: Interesting bronze archaeological fastener, characterized by its elegant structure of a double oval ring and a central transverse bar that symmetrically divides the two openings. Manufactured by casting in one piece, it features rounded contours, a robust cross-section, and a balanced composition that blends functionality with ornamental simplicity. Its configuration allows the passage and retention of strap or weave elements, constituting an attractive example of the historical fastening systems used on clothing accessories and equipment. The surface preserves an intense olive-green and brown patina, with mineral deposits, small irregularities, and surface wear that impart a pronounced archaeological character. Conservation status: Good, with both rings complete, central bar intact, and an attractive superficial patina.
