Lot 801
1st century BC-1st century AD. An openwork bronze lyre-type mount with tear-shaped upper register with 'hidden face', similar arm to each side with opposite crescents; a pair of punched circles to each section, remains of ribbed decoration; attachment loop to the reverse. 47.47 grams, 80mm (3 1/4"). The Chris Rudd collection, Norfolk, UK; formed since the 1970s; collection number CE8; formerly in the 'Celtic Art Connoisseur of Cambridge collection'; found on the north bank of River Thames at Syon Park, near Isleworth, Middlesex, 1995-1998. Chris Rudd says: I can't recall seeing any other lyre-form mounts like this. However, it is interesting that the motif of two opposed crescent moons occurs frequently on the early gold coinage of the Catuvellauni, e.g. ABC 2442, 2445, 2508, 2511, 2514, 2550-74. A heart-shaped hidden face can also be seen on the first gold stater of Cunobelinus, ABC 2771, the most powerful of all Catuvellaunian rulers. This is obvious evidence that tribal emblems and dynastic heraldry can be seen not only on the Celtic coins of Britain, but also on other contemporary prestige metalwork; which is why I was keen to acquire this piece.

Chris Rudd says: 'In the early 1990s when I began dealing in Celtic coins I developed an interest in the tribes of eastern Europe. One such tribe was the Pannonii, a group of Illyrian peoples who had absorbed Celtic influences to varying degrees. Their territory lay south and west of the Danube (Danuvius) in the valleys of the Drava and Sava and the latter's Bosnian tributaries. In 119 BC the Romans campaigned against the Pannonii, seizing Siscia. In 35 BC Octavian (Augustus) established a garrison at Siscia. The conquest of the Pannonii, notably the Breuci in the Sava valley, was completed ruthlessly by Tiberius and the Roman province of Pannonia was set up in AD 9. However, Celtic cultural influence continued to permeate everday life in Pannonia, just as it did in Britannia after the Claudian invasion of AD 43. This Celtic influence can be seen in Pannonian brooches. In the 1990s, I formed this small collection of Celto-Pannonian brooches. It was intended to be a 'study group' and I was more interested in varieties of type, rather than quality; which is why almost all these brooches lack pins and are cheap. The Kräftig Profilierte ('strongly profiled') type is well represented here. They date to the first century AD and, in my opinion, retain much that is Celtic in their design. Comparatively few have been found in Britain.' Chris Rudd has collected ancient coins and antiquities since the 1940s. As an amateur archaeologist he found many himself at Badbury Rings, Dorset, 1952-53. He also dug at Hod Hill with Professor Sir Ian Richmond and at Wroxeter with Dame Kathleen Kenyon and Dr Graham Webster. Today he is best known as a Celtic coin dealer. His catalogues have been described as ‘an important research source’ by Professor Sir Barry Cunliffe and ‘treasure houses of delight’ by Dr Anne Ross.
