Description

This is my 600th posting, and it is also March 8th, Women's day, so I'm posting a very beautiful specimen of a Venetic woman's bronze girdle (6th century BC) from an Iron Age necropolis at Oppeano, near Verona , These kind of lozenge girdles (you see only the lozenge-shaped front, but it has also the bronze belt) were used only by very aristocratic women in a wide area from central and northern Italy, to Austria, Bohemia, Slovenia and Croatia. Thanks for your kind comments.

First of all Sandra, congratulations on 600 posts in the gallery. I can't imagine a more glorious image to help celebrate that as well as Woman's day. And let me take a moment to say I was totally fascinated with the detailing on this bronze age girdle. I've never seen anything quite like it, and I'm so glad you took the time to share this with us.

I'm always impressed by the quality of metalwork that was produced over 2,000 years ago! Your shot really brings out the workmanship, congratulations. Cheers Moz.
