Greek Bronze Bow Brooch
8th-7th century B.C.Sold for (Inc. bp): £156
The keeled bow with a large central boss, integral pin and rectangular footplate. 55.9 grams, 72 mm
From the family collection of a Surrey gentleman since before 1960.
The distinctive form of this fibula seems to be an Italic variant of characteristic Geometric period examples from Thessaly that have been discovered in large numbers, for example in the sanctuary of Zeus Thaulios near Pharos. It belongs to the category of Greek catch plate brooches, although the rectangular footplate is substantially reduced compared to the Greek prototypes.
