Link to the original horse brooch...

Fibulae in the shape of a little horse belong to a small group of Central European animal brooches that have survived from the Celtic Iron Age. These figural fibulae were typical of Celtic costume in the early Latène period and were worn by men, women, and children alike.

However, fibulae in the shape of horses were not only widespread among the Celts. Almost identical horse brooches were also used by the Romans and remained in use until late antiquity.

You can buy this Celtic brooch in high-quality bronze or genuine silver-plated.

Numerous examples of Celtic horse brooches were found in graves from the fifth century AD. They testify to the value that the Celts attached to horses, as horses were not easy to obtain in Iron Age Europe and were expensive to maintain, making them important symbols of status and power in Celtic culture.

However, Celtic animal brooches from the Latène period could not only be designed like horses, but could also depict the figure of a stag or a goat. However, these brooches were similar in that the animals were always depicted in three dimensions, with the hind legs covering the feather of the brooch, while the clasp was attached to the front legs.
