Stone age to Bronze Age Europe Antiquities

The Bronze Age and Iron Age did not begin or end simultaneously across the world or even across Europe. The Aegean Bronze Age succeeded the Neolithic about 3200 B.C. Iron working was introduced to Europe in the late 11th century B.C., probably from the Caucasus, and slowly spread northwards and westwards over the succeeding 500 years. In Northern Europe the Bronze Age lasted until about 600 B.C.

Celtic, Gaul or Iberia, La Tène - Hallstatt Variant Fibula, c. 3rd - 1st Century B.C.

|Fibulas| |&| |Clothing|, |Celtic,| |Gaul| |or| |Iberia,| |La| |Tène| |-| |Hallstatt| |Variant| |Fibula,| |c.| |3rd| |-| |1st| |Century| |B.C.|
From the collection of Alex G. Malloy, former dealer in antiquities for 40 years.

This very unusual fibula with one-piece construction is similar to those of the La Tène Culture from the 3rd to 1st Century B.C. The cord wrapped around the head is rare, but known from some Gallic and Iberian Celtic fibula. The perforated catch-plate is a Hallstatt characteristic. The large number of windings on this piece perhaps indicates a later date, but is known on some early pieces. One-piece construction was rapidly replaced by the easier to manufacture two-piece construction in the middle of the 1st century A.D. We date this type as most likely from the 3rd century B.C. to the 1st century B.C. but it could be from as early as the 6th century B.C. or as late as the mid-first century A.D.
AI36104. Bronze fibula; Hattatt -;1 ¾ x 1 ¾ inches; one-piece construction; open spring and cord, cord wrapped around the head, Superb, perforated catch-plate, decorated with incised V shaped lines complete and intact, fine green patina, with wood base for display; rare, without close parallel in Hattatt, and extremely rare in this condition; SOLD
