by Gallo-Roman; h:5.25 w:5.25 d:1.60 cm; Cleveland Museum of Art, OH, USA; (add.info.: These brooches functioned as garment clasps (much like the generally larger fibulae) and are distinctive for their decorative enamels. The art of enameling was highly popular among the conquered peoples who lived on the outskirts of the Roman empire, chiefly the Celts and the Gauls. Though the enameling technique was practiced by the Romans themselves on small objects, the brightly colored decoration readily appealed to " barbarian" taste. By the 200s ad, enameled brooches like these were being made in abundance by the native peoples of Britain and Gaul (modern France and Belgium).

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Ornamental Brooch dating back to the period between 100-300 AD. Crafted from bronze and adorned with champlevé enamel, this brooch is a true testament to the artistic brilliance of Gallo-Roman craftsmanship. Measuring at a delicate size of h:5.25 w:5.25 d:1.60 cm, this brooch served as a garment clasp, similar to larger fibulae commonly used during that era. What sets it apart is its remarkable decorative enamels, which were highly sought after by conquered peoples residing on the outskirts of the Roman Empire. The art of enameling was particularly popular among Celtic and Gaulish cultures, who readily embraced the vibrant colors and intricate designs associated with this technique. As time went on, enameled brooches like this one became increasingly abundant in Britain and Gaul (now modern-day France and Belgium), produced by native artisans during the 200s AD. Acquired through the J. H Wade Fund by Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, this ancient artifact offers us a glimpse into Roman history while highlighting cultural exchanges between different civilizations during migration periods. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured every detail of this historic treasure in their stunning print - allowing art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate its beauty for generations to come.
