Celtic snake bracelet from Buchères

125 €

This bracelet is in solid bronze; it was worn by women on the upper arm, at the level of the biceps, or on the wrist, to display their wealth.
It depicts a stylised snake.

It was at Buchères, 8 km from Troyes (Aube), on a former farm field due to become an industrial warehouse, that archaeologists from Inrap uncovered a group of graves.

“Of some thirty graves, half have already been excavated. They have revealed five warriors with their weapons, as well as women wearing jewellery characteristic of the Early La Tène culture (4th and 3rd centuries BC), a period of major Celtic migrations.”
