Broche en forme d'arc

Fin de l'empire romain

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 301

Cette broche est une variante luxueuse du type que portaient les femmes des populations germaniques riveraines du Danube, aux IVe et Ve siècles. Elle appartenait sans nul doute à une femme de haut rang et faisait partie d’un riche ensemble de bijoux en or — bracelets de bras, anneaux et colliers à pendentifs —, dont sa propriétaire fut parée pour son enterrement.
