EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of Animal Shaped Brooches from the Roman era, dating back to the 1st century AD and 1st century BC. The intricate metalwork of these brooches is truly remarkable, highlighting the craftsmanship and attention to detail prevalent during that time. The assortment includes various animal designs such as a lion, fish, cat, frog, hare, duck, dolphin, bird, and even horses. Each brooch represents different aspects of wildlife and farm animals commonly found in ancient Roman society. These exquisite pieces of jewelry not only served as decorative accessories but also held significant cultural value. They were worn by both men and women to adorn their garments or fasten their cloaks together. Now housed at the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford in the UK, this collection offers a glimpse into the artistic sensibilities and fashion trends prevalent in ancient Rome. The brooches are an embodiment of elegance fused with nature-inspired motifs. Through this print captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we can appreciate the beauty and historical significance encapsulated within these small yet impactful artifacts.
