38€ la paire
A phalera is a small metal ornament, usually circular, bearing an engraved, chased or cast design or figure in relief. Fixing methods varied widely: a rivet integral to the phalera, a phalera pierced to be riveted or sewn on, a button-type fitting…
The phalerae shown here are bronze. They are of Gaulish type and can be used on armour as well as on horse harness.
They are 5 cm in diameter and have a central rivet with swellings that can serve as a button.
