a sketch — 5th c fibula — Saint Denis

Posted by on June 6, 2012

I’m work­ing on my class notes for the Merovin­gian Women’s cloth­ing class that I teach. It keeps grow­ing as I add infor­ma­tion and will likely end up a book in a few years. Here’s one of the sketches of 5th cen­tury fibula from Grave 23, Saint Denis. These would have held a pep­los closed at the shoul­ders. These fell out of use by mid-6th century.
