Introduction
This is an antique Celtic brooch featuring a sculpted dragon motif. Crafted from copper, the brooch displays a dynamic depiction of a dragon in full stride, set within a circular frame. The border is intricately braided, enhancing the piece’s Celtic aesthetic. This brooch was likely designed as a sash brooch, intended to be fastened to fabric, and showcases the artistry of Celtic metalwork.
Condition
The brooch exhibits signs consistent with age and use, including some patina and minor wear to the copper. The sculpted details remain largely intact, and the braided border is well-defined. This piece would appeal to collectors of Celtic artifacts, Scottish history enthusiasts, or those seeking a unique piece of antique jewelry. It presents a tangible connection to the rich artistic heritage of the Celtic people.
