figs 155 and 156.') For typological reasons the age of the silver- 

 plated brooch must be about the same as that of the one above, 

 flg. 154, but the cruciform brooch certainly belongs to a more ad- 

 __ . vanced stage of the de- 



wi^^^^^^^^^Å ve l°P men k All knobs are 

 y/v^T^ iiifM east in one piece with the 

 brooch and the side-knobs 

 are flat on the underside, 

 while the top-knob has pre- 

 served the full roundness. 

 Also the dimensions of the 

 plate and the relatively 

 broad proportions of the 

 rest of the brooch indicate 

 a more ad vanced develop- 

 ment than observed in the 

 brooch es figs. 146 and 153. 

 For typological reasons one 

 might be inclined to con- 

 clude that one of the two 

 brooches found in the grave 

 here in question was al- 

 ready an old specimen at 

 the time when they were 

 buried with their possessor, 

 but even upon this sup- 

 position, the date of the 

 grave cannot probably be 

 fixed later than about the 

 middle of the 5th cent. or 

 shortly after that time. The 

 cruciform brooch should 

 most likely be referred to 

 a time about 450 A. D. 



A small cruciform brooch 

 was found in association
