Description
Step back into the early Roman Empire with this finely crafted Bronze Bow Fibula Brooch, a faithful recreation of one of the most iconic fasteners of antiquity. Far more than a simple pin, fibulae served as both practical garment clasps and symbols of Roman identity and ingenuity, securing cloaks, tunics, and military sagums.
Hand-cast using the ancient lost-wax technique, each brooch reflects the elegance and functionality of the originals. The gently curved bow is crowned with a distinctive knobbed head, while the long triangular catch plate and double spring coil mechanism provide both authenticity and reliable fastening.
Once worn by citizens, soldiers, and officials across the Roman world, this fibula embodies the refined utility and aesthetic sensibility of Roman design. Whether used in historical attire, as part of a costume, or displayed in a collection, it captures the essence of Roman craftsmanship.
