Replica of a bow brooch for the drapery of the Celts.
Here you can buy a replica of a Celtic bow brooch (wire brooch) after models of the early Latène period.
The Celtic wire brooch is made from a single piece of brass wire and formed into a small spiral at the apex, which gives the needle the necessary tension - very similar to a safety pin of today, only a lot bigger.
A really practical and inexpensive brooch for garments in Celtic re-enactment, to close robes or light capes.
Dimensions Celtic bow fibula: 10 x 4 cm.
Wire brooches and bow brooches are typical for the garments of the early Latène period and were widespread in the Celtic world in the time before the birth of Christ.
Such wire brooches were used to close the peplos of Celtic women's garments. This always required two brooches, which fastened the garment in pairs below the shoulders. The price is for a single brooch.
