Description
Bronze fibula with iron needle from the Visigothic necropolis of Pla de l'Horta (Sarrià de Ter, Gironès). It is decorated with radial incisions, around which there are five appendages, with the two ends in the form of an eagle. The fibula bridge is decorated with two longitudinal incised lines and the rhomboidal fixation zone also has the decorative incision lines, as well as being topped by six circular appendages. The distal appendix of the piece is smooth. These fibulae, made in a mould, are dated in the second half of the 6th century AD.
