Small Phalera with Leaf Pendant
Roman ornamental disc (phalera) with leaf pendant as decoration for a Roman horse harness, freely adapted from a find in Xanten.
Small Phalera with Leaf Pendant
This small phalera with leaf pendant makes an excellent decoration on a horse harness. The replica is inspired by an original find from Xanten, which is now in the British Museum.
To produce it, a detailed model is first made in wax, which is reworked by hand and then cast in metal in an elaborate and authentic casting process. Then the blank is again intensively reworked by hand, sanded and polished. This is not thin sheet metal or a resin casting with a thin metal coating, but a very heavy and valuable work of solid bronze. Rivets are included for attachment, and there are two strap grommets on the back to facilitate attachment to a strap.
The diameter of the round phalera is about 60mm, the length with leaf pendant is about 120 mm.
