Fibulae and Brooches

Fibulae - Brooches - Cloth Pins

In archeology, fibulae are a leading type of find. For millennia, the cloth pins were a necessary and popular piece of jewelry that was subject to rapid change of fashion. Due to the shape of the brooches, it is not only possible to differentiate between broadly different cultures, but also to some extent very precise dates, cultural and regional features as well as trade and traveling routes.

Fibulae were not just everyday objects, but also reflect part of the religious beliefs of their owners due to their shape and decorations.

As collector's items, the replicas of ancient fibulae not only find many friends among archaeologists, but also serve their purpose in museums for functioning demonstrations and exhibitions.

In addition to their use as decorative brooches, the fibulae are of course today still suitable for closing of scarves and other garments.
