BRONZE 'PASSAREDINI' OR MACE HEAD
Italic culture, c. 6th to 4th century BC.
Masculine ring forged from leaded bronze. The circular accessory features a relatively smooth interior surface as well as columns of three spikes surrounding the exterior.
Diameter: 35 mm.
Inner size: 17 mm.
Height: 22.5 mm. Item unusually large for the type. Generally referred to as 'passaredini' and thus related to the equestrian sphere, this type of bronze object apparently has no certain function. Another hypothesis of use sees these objects as belonging to the military or domestic sphere.
