Interesting find and very old too! (I am not sure what a fibula is in this case though. In english it refers to a type of bone.)
PS: Welcome to TNet!

Rare Saxon piece, shame its bust.

I thought it was illegal to hunt in Belgium or have they changed the Law recently?

Super Find - CONGRATS! In some of my jewelry classes, some advanced students were happily crafting their modern versions of fibulas in either copper or silver. I made the easier copper-enamel pendants, but enjoyed seeing their fibulas! Would love to see more of your medieval finds! HAVE FUN! Andi
