Fibulae, ancient safety pins, had a long history in the ancient world, beginning in the late second millennium B.C. in Europe and Greece. The flat arc of this Pgrygian fibula is cast as a semicircle with the addition of hollow studs applied as decoration on the arc and its catch and terminals. This piece is one of the most characteristic of Phrygian fibulae of the second half of the eighth century B.C.
