Fibula with circles
Fibula with circles for decoration, or metal element, (metal cap), date back from 5. or 6. century b.c. In that time, soldierly were wearing fibulas on their mails. Also, soldierly were buried with fibula for decoration, because they believed that can allow them to keep items for other life.
With soldierly, fibulas were found in their graves. That brings clear picture about thier religious and social life and it tells much about their feeling about decoration and beauty.
Decoration fibulas are used nowadays too. Although they are changed and improved a little bit, they are still same fibulas like fibulas from that time, because new ones are developed from old ones. Small differences are result of centuries of use and wear.
