Roman pelta pendant in openwork technique.
This large, openwork Roman pendant is based on a Roman pelta shaped harness fitting from the 3rd century AD.
The historical model for this Roman pendant is a 13 cm fitting from a private collection, which was once used as a decorative disc on a Roman horse harness. It comes from the Roman province of Pannonia, today's western Austria, and dates back to the 3rd century AD.
The Roman pendant shows a so-called pelta motif in a filigree and complex openwork technique, and has a small swastika in the centre.
You can buy the pelta pendant in high-quality bronze or genuine silver-plated.
Alternatively, you can also order it in 925 sterling silver (please note delivery time). Alloy...
A 1 metre long black leather strap is included with the pelta pendant.
Pelta-shaped fittings were particularly popular in a military context during the Roman Empire, as many finds from the Germanic provinces prove. Numerous belt fittings, fibulae and pendants in pelta form have been found here.
The name for Roman pelta ornamentation comes from the Greek term for a light, crescent-shaped shield used in ancient Greece by the so-called peltasts, lightly armed skirmishers equipped with short spears.
