Disk Fibula |

| Description |
English: This disk fibula is made of sheet gold decorated with gold filigree (fine, twisted wire) and gold granules and set with colored stones and glass. The pliable gold on the disk face is backed by a bronze plate which extends slightly beyond the gold face. Traces of rust remain on the back from a corroded iron clasp. A Frankish man would have used a fibula like this one to pin his cloak at the right shoulder. |
