Cross-bow Fibula

Cleveland Museum of Art

Cross-bow fibula by an unknown artist. The object is a cross-shaped fibula with a long, thin base. The base features a hole at the bottom and is decorated with swirls and spirals. The top section has a T-shaped form with a small cone-shaped knob at the top. Two spherical knobs are on either side of the top section. The fibula appears to be made of metal, likely bronze, with a green patina. It has a textured surface with visible signs of aging and wear. The background is a plain gray surface.
