Pair of Arched Fibulae

Cleveland Museum of Art

Two bronze fibulae, Pair of Arched Fibulae, with a green patina and a rounded, arched shape, are shown side by side on a gray background. The fibulae have a long pin attached to one end and a catch or clasp at the other. The outer edges of both fibulae are decorated with large and small domed bosses or rivets. The larger bosses are spaced at intervals around the curve, while smaller ones are interspersed between them. The surface of both fibulae shows signs of aging and wear, with patches of lighter and darker green tones. Shadows are cast to the bottom left and right.
