Ave!
I just read Jimi's post concerning
his wolf and ears thoughts. See the link below.
https://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php?topic=121652.0My
brooch is:
Copper
alloy; 44mm/6.8gm with blue
glass inlay (not enameling), seen in the 1st photo.
I keep finding the same funny wolf/dog motif on many artifacts, especially on copper
alloy casket legs, c. 3rd-4th Cent.
View the 2nd photo. I have more of the same I could share if needed.
But this is the first one I've come across on a
brooch.
As all of them were ground-found in
Roman Pannonia and
Moesia, I have always assumed they were fabricated by Celtic-Romano smiths, due to the Celtic-styled motifs.
Can anyone set Jimi and I straight concerning such?
Wolf?
Dog? Or what?
Looking forward to any answers!
Best regards and I wish you all to be safe and healthy during these troubling days,
Kevin
