Description

Silver bent-foot fibula commonly used within Eastern part of Europe during the 2nd to 3rd century A.D. This nickname is due to the fact that there is a link between the down part of the catch plate and the upper part where it is coiled. On our fibula, it is a little thread that link both parts.

The pin has been restored. The fibula is still functionnal.
