Bow Fibula

Cleveland Museum of Art

Gold and silver colored metal brooch in the shape of a cross. The brooch has a T-shaped form with a semicircular top with a raised outer edge. The semicircular top has three protrusions with circular garnets on top, one at the top center, and one on each side. The vertical stem of the brooch is rectangular and has two sections with garnets set into circular holes. The rectangular sections have triangular patterns at the bottom and curled spiral patterns on the sides. The brooch has a flat surface with a raised outer edge and a smooth, rounded finish. The background is dark gray. The brooch appears to be "Bow Fibula" by unknown artist.
