Two asymmetrical annealed fibulae and two circular cloisonné fibulae from the Merovingian period (6th century AD). These jewels were discovered in Saint-Dizier, in Haute-Marne, in the tomb of a richly adorned Franconian teenager. The first ones are made of silver, their head is extended by five extremities inlaid with a semi-circular garnet and their foot with a rectangular garnet. The second ones, found on the neck of the deceased, have a cloisonné decoration of garnets. Their rim is decorated with a copper damascene.
