Fibula

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Fibula by Unknown Artist depicts a metal brooch with a predominantly silver and gold color scheme. The brooch features a long, narrow top that tapers to a point, adorned with small circular gems around its edges. The top section is diamond-shaped and showcases intricate gold filigree on a silver background. A large ring connects the top section to the rest of the brooch. The bottom section is semicircular with a decorative edge and features six protruding cylindrical knobs. The brooch is set against a plain gray background. The overall design and craftsmanship suggest an ancient or historical piece of jewelry.
