Ancient Roman

Bronze archaeological fastener with double oval rings Declared provenance: Roman archaeological context. Material: copper alloy or cast bronze. Auction description: An interesting bronze archaeological fastener, characterized by its elegant double oval ring structure and a central crossbar that symmetrically divides the two openings. Cast in a single piece, it features rounded contours, a robust cross-section, and a balanced design that combines functionality with simple ornamental appeal. Its configuration allows the passage and retention of strap or fabric elements, constituting an attractive example of historical fastening systems used in clothing and equipment accessories. The surface retains 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.
