Description

Pair of large triangular silver fibulae. The triangles are of open work with an open flower in each of the three corners. The center of each fibulae has a raised cone with blue and yellow inlay; 81-19-7a has lost approximately one-half its inlay. The clasps attaching the stickpins to the triangles are of two curved wings which are somewhat Egyptian in appearance.
