Bronze Celtic Deer Brooch – Lost Wax Cast

Description

Celebrate the elegance of Celtic artistry with this Bronze Celtic Deer Brooch, inspired by ancient mythology and timeless craftsmanship. In Celtic tradition, the deer and stag symbolized vitality, transformation, and connection to the Otherworld, often appearing in ornamental motifs and heroic legends as emblems of nobility and the cycle of life.

This brooch is meticulously cast in solid bronze using the lost-wax technique, ensuring fine details are preserved, from the flowing knotwork and elongated necks to the entwined forms of the deer. The process imparts an antique character and uniqueness that modern machine-made fittings simply cannot match.

Beyond its symbolic beauty, this clasp is built for function and durability. With a weight of approximately 50 g, it provides a secure and reassuring closure for heavy cloaks, capes, or lighter mantles. The hooks at each end are designed to attach reliably to garment loops or cord ties, making it as practical as it is decorative.
