Description

A GROUP OF THREE BRONZE QUATREFOIL FIBULAS OR STRAP FITTINGS
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

Ancient Europe, 1st millennium AD or earlier. Comprising three sturdy rings, each finely cast with four disks projecting at 90-degree intervals from equidistant points on the obverse. Two of the rings’ disks are each decorated with seven circular motifs. (3)

Provenance: Galerie Hardt (established in 1976), Radevormwald, Germany, before 2020. Acquired by the gallery’s founder Peter Hardt (b. 1946) during his extensive travels in Asia, the first of which occurred during a formative world tour in 1973. Throughout his storied career, Peter Kienzle-Hardt organized countless exhibitions and participated in major international art fairs. He made many important contacts during this time and eventually met the Kienzle siblings, who shared his passion for Asian art and culture. A strong bond and deep friendship developed, ultimately leading to the creation of the Museum für Asiatische Kunst decades later in 2014. While the museum’s permanent exhibition predominantly comprised pieces from the Kienzle Family Collection, Peter Kienzle-Hardt supplemented it with objects from his own collection. Before his death in 2019, Horst Kienzle bequeathed his entire property to Peter and legally adopted him as his son, who has been using the name Peter Kienzle-Hardt ever since.
Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Extensive wear, signs of weathering, warping, dents, casting irregularities, minor losses. Each with a rich, naturally grown, dark patina with malachite encrustation.

Weight: 329 g (total)
Dimensions: Length 9.5-12.2 cm

Such objects were likely used as strap fasteners to secure swords during the Late Iron Age and Roman periods. Each ring features four flat-headed studs that project at right angles (90 degrees) from the hoop. One end of a leather strap may have been permanently affixed to the hoop, while the other end could be fastened by pushing one of the studs through a slit in the leather, allowing for a secure and adjustable attachment.
