For the small one, I found an unidentified example of a Merovingian Garnet Cloisonné Disc Brooch (Scheibenfibel) with garnet cloisonné decoration, Probably 6th century AD (Merovingian period), Frankish / Rhineland region.
- Source Image: Illustration from the research project article “Garnet Cloisonné in the Rhinelands” by Dr. Elke Nieveler, published 7 September 2015 on Weltweites Zellwerk | International Framework. Author of Source Article: Dr. Elke Nieveler (LVR-LandesMuseum Bonn).
- Project Context: The article describes a research project investigating Merovingian garnet-cloisonné objects from the northern Rhineland, including disc brooches from women’s graves and other high-status objects, with scientific analysis conducted at the LVR-LandesMuseum Bonn.
- Probable find spot: Kallscheuren (Hürth-Kallscheuren), Rhineland, Germany (based on the original file name of the photo, Scheibenfibel_Kallscheuren-800X600-300x225.jpg)
- Current Location: Unknown. The article does not specify a museum collection or inventory number. The object may belong to the study corpus examined at the LVR-LandesMuseum Bonn, but this has not been verified.
- when I traced it, I was surprised to note that there are 11 points to the sunburst (not 12, which I would have expected)
