    From a collection acquired on the UK art market from various auction houses and collections mostly before 2000. From an important Cambridgeshire estate; thence by descent.

    The round element represents the four-spoked wheel of a chariot, typical of the Bronze Age. The motif has been interpreted as solar symbolism since this period. The circularity between solar cosmologies—symbolic wheel/solar vehicle/functional chariot—was deeply ingrained since at least the 15th century from North Europe to Aegeaum, and continued in the early Iron Age.
