A remarkable and well-preserved Celtic bronze bracelet with a wide band and elegantly formed spiral terminals. The spiral was one of the most important symbols in Celtic art, representing eternity, cycles of life and death, and the movement of cosmic energy. Its placement on jewelry such as this bracelet was not merely decorative, but also carried spiritual and protective meaning for the wearer.

The craftsmanship of this piece demonstrates the advanced metalworking skills of Celtic artisans, who were renowned across Europe for their ability to produce both functional and symbolic objects. Bracelets such as this would have served not only as personal adornment but also as indicators of social status and cultural identity within Celtic communities.

Over the centuries, the surface has acquired a rich green patina, a natural testament to its age and authenticity. Despite its antiquity, the bracelet retains its shape and detail, making it an exceptional example of early Celtic jewelry.

Condition:
Good condition for its age, with natural patina and corrosion. Minor wear consistent with use and age. Please see the photographs for a complete impression.
