The Gold Breast Chain from the Early Byzantine Period in the Römisch-Germanisches Zentralmuseum

Römisch-Germanisches Zentralmuseum, Forschungsinstitut für Vor- und Frühgeschichte.

Detailed comparative analysis of the only three known complete breast chains from the period around 600 that consist of large, flat, openwork links composed primarily of stylized floral motifs. Although these gold breast chains (in the collections of Römisch-Germanisches Zentralmuseum - now renamed as LEIZA - , Metropolitan Museum of Art and British Museum) are quite different from one another, the characteristics they share make it fruitful to examine them together. 30 Seiten mit 25 Textabb. sowie vier Farb- und 18 s/w-Tafeln, Großformat, Leinen (Monographien des Römisch-Germanischen Zentralmuseums; Band 4/Rudolf Habelt Verlag/Verlag des Römisch-Germanischen Zentralmuseums 1984)
