Hello Gentlemens.

I found a Hungarian auction page.Prepared from bronze something ,which can be seen on the pictures. What is this? The proprietor says it about him, that Celtic ankle armour. I never see like this. Maybe, foot armour be his broken pieces according to you?

Hi Treveri,

I think it's no armor, but "just" a part of a bronze anklet or bracelet.
like this replica...

The Celts did have a lot of these so...
