Fibula With U-Shaped Decorated Body. Fibula, which can be seen as modern safety pins, are composed of a pin and a spring. Depictions on reliefs, terra-cotta and painted pots, as well as the archaeological data, indicate that fibula were attached to clothes, on the shoulder, hip, arm and wrist. Thus, they were used both for decoration and for attaching cloth edges together. Two enlaced earrings are placed at the joint where the pin is connected to the body.
