An early medival disc brooch decorated with animal ornament and masks forming a cross. From a woman's grave in Krautheim-Klepsau, late 6th century. During this period, the cross was often included in ornamental design. However, it can't always be clearly interpreted as a Christian symbol.
The brooch is made of gold-plated silver with garnet inlays, the eyes are inlaid with green glass and the nose with blue glass.
