My first Iberian (Pre roman culture) find!!! and its in perfect shape, its a pity its only a piece!!!! When it popped out I didn't know what it was, though a dog from a fibula or something, but I went to some friends and they all were amazed... The Iberian culture its from the 700 to the 100 BC!!! :o

Also found a very rare coin, from King Juan I (1379-1390), its a pity its only half...still in great shape.

A beautiful Christian pendant, with roman numbers on the face where Christ appears. I did not want to clean it more, its a little fragile.

Another coin in great shape was the Blanca, its my best one so far. Not a rare coins, its just in great condition.
Then some lead, buttons and a jewelry holder...

Thanks for watching!
Nutria

More Great Old Finds :o
And I do mean OLD.
Happy you got the bigger half of your 'Juan' ;D
 

Hi Nutria!
It is undoubtedly a precious fragment of Iberian fibula :o (the Wolf is a totem animal of our Iberian ancestors ), and also the artistic style Belongs to the Iberian culture ... also the green patina and wear show that is an authentic piece . :thumbsup:
Here I show you a Iberian Fibula with representation of a Wolf and a stone figure a Wolf also almost identical to yours .... ears backwards and slanted eyes is characteristic of these representations Ibericas the fourth century.
And I do not think you find anything better in your life .... I GIVE MY VOTE BANNER! :hello2:

Awesome finds, thanks for sharing!
:hello2:
 

Thanks you all for looking

Steel: Hahaha yes the very best half of the Juan hahaha ;D ;D

HISPAN:

Thanks a million for my very first BANNER VOTE!!! I really appreciate it
Only a few of us know the importance of this find, and I'm still in shock after researching it in depth :o :o
there are very few representations of the wolf in the Iberian Culture!!

Thanks again

CRUSADER:

Thanks, its a very exciting find, comparable to your saxon finds!!

Cheers

Nutria
 

:icon_thumleft:

You got my vote Nu :icon_thumleft: the wolfs head was also very popular in Vikng Art as well, often on strapends and outher mounts, I'm wondering if your wolfs head might have come from a drinking vessel :dontknow:

SS
 

I wote Banner. Sweet digs! :icon_thumleft:

Although Saxon/Viking finds in my area are rare, I probably get about 20 items a year (in a good/lucky year). So your find is more comparable to the rarer period of the Late Bronze Age-early Iron Age (800-500BC), I only have a couple from this period in my lifetime :wink:
Problem is, if it were a nice gold coin from this period, people would kind of get it, but beginning an artifacts it is somewhat lost on people as to its importance.
I will definitely vote banner, but I'm guessing it will do little good :-\
 

Your Iberian Wolfs Head gets another vote from me !
 

Hi Nutria!
The Wolf are very common in artistic representations of the Iberians.
but not small bronze figurines, the vast majority of representations of Wolf in the Iberian art were made ​​of stone, less the Patera de Tivissa . :thumbsup:
