Ancient Roman

A Roman bronze handle/applique with hanging finials Roman period, circa 1st–3rd centuries AD Ornamental element made in cast bronze, with a curved body and a robust section, ends raised and finished with small, cylindrical, globular-profile hanging elements. The composition is symmetric and presents a sober execution, probably related to a handle, applique or furniture accessory, vessel or suspension element. The surface preserves a dark green archaeological patina, with brown areas, wear, concretions and surface oxidation coherent with great age. The terminal finials and the main curve are legible and well preserved. Material: bronze/copper alloy. Chronology: Roman period, probably 1st–3rd centuries AD. Dimensions: 55 × 78 × 12 mm. Conservation status: good for its age, with patina, erosion and surface deposits; no major structural losses visible.
