Brooch/Fibula

A two-part fibula with a high sheath and a small ball on the back section, as well as a cross motif on the sheath. The spring pin is made of iron, while the rest of the brooch is made of bronze. This item was found during archaeological excavations in the village of Brzezie (Pleszew County). It is dated to the Roman influence period, phases B2C1 (around 80–260 AD), and is associated with the Przeworsk culture. Typologically, it is close to type A201 from group VII according to Almgren's typology. These brooches were common in the Nadłabian and Czech basins but are rarer in the Przeworsk culture. Such items were used to fasten elements of clothing.
