Eye Brooch, Bronze

Germanic Eye Brooch

This kind of brooch is part of Oskar Almgrens Group No. III, the so-called Eye-Fibulae. This kind of brooch is very wide-spreaded and was in use in the roman provinces, but mainly in free Germania. Finds were made in the northern and eastern germany, but also in southernDenmark. Two holes in the upper part of the bow are looking like eyes and gave the name to this group of brooches.
