Boat-Shaped Fibula

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Boat-Shaped Fibula by artist unknown, shows a metal fibula. The fibula is made of dark gray metal. The body of the fibula resembles a boat or a pair of boats side by side. Two boat-shaped sections are side by side. Each section has a beaded edge along the curved top. The two sections are joined at the back with a curled piece of metal. A long pin extends from the back. The background is a solid gray color. A shadow is cast to the lower right.
