Condition
Pins on largest and smallest fibulae are repaired with areas of restoration; pin on V-shaped fibula is likely not original to the body and can be removed. Each piece has light abrasions and encrustations with softening to some finer details particularly on 2 Roman fibulae. Nice patina throughout. Pins are very fragile, so we do not recommend attempting to move them or for wear on any garments.
