Cross-bow Fibula

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Cross-bow Fibula by unknown artist is a green-colored, ancient metal brooch. The brooch has a distinctive T-shaped design with a long vertical section and two shorter horizontal sections at the top. The vertical section features an ornate pattern of swirls and lines at its lower end. The horizontal sections each terminate in a spherical knob. A smaller spherical knob is positioned at the top of the vertical section. The brooch exhibits a weathered appearance with visible signs of aging and wear. The background is a solid gray color.
