Pair of Fibulae

Cleveland Museum of Art

Two gold-colored metal objects, possibly brooches or fibulae, with a similar design. The objects have a long, narrow, rectangular base with a semicircular top. The semicircular top has two spiral designs on it. There are six protrusions extending from the semicircular top, resembling animal heads or other shapes. The rectangular base features a central silver-colored inlay flanked by gold-colored decorative patterns. The background is dark at the top, gradually transitioning to light gray at the bottom. The objects are symmetrical and identical in design. They appear to be made of metal, likely gold or a gold alloy. The overall design suggests an ornate and decorative piece. The objects are presented side by side.
