Lot 1008
6th century AD. A broad repoussé gold-foil bracteate of Hauck's Type C with outer band of punched pellets, ribbed loop; repoussé profile male head with radiating strokes beneath the lower jaw, triangular nose, pellet eye in elliptical frame, linear hair with curled end and bird-head extension above the brow; narrow zigzag with pellets above the head and larger below, pair of addorsed bird-heads beneath the face. 2.47 grams, 38mm (1 1/2"). Property of a Northamptonshire collector; acquired in Germany in the early 1980s. Supplied with a positive X-Ray Fluorescence metal analysis certificate. Cf. bracteate imagery in Franceschi, G., Jorn, A. & Magnus, B. Mennesker, Guder og Masker i Nordisk Jernalderkunst, vol.1, Borgen, 2005, figs. 101-126; for the motif, see items 111181, 110012 and 109694 in the Swedish Historiskamuseet database. Accompanied by an Art Loss Register certificate. Bracteates probably derived from Roman portrait medallions, presented by the emperor to forge personal and political alliances. Here, however, the imperial image has been transformed into a depiction of what is probably a god with birds (possibly Woden?"). With their skilful workmanship and allusions to the Roman - Byzantine world, gold bracteates conveyed both the sophisticated taste and high social status of their female owners, who wore them as fine jewellery and hoarded them as treasure. The series has been extensively published in Axboe, M., Düwel, K., Hauck, K. & von Padberg, L. Die Goldbrakteaten der Völkerwanderungszeit. Ikonographischer Katalog Münstersche Mittelalterschriften 24, München, 7 vols, 1985–89. Very fine condition.
