Collection trésor de Vix - Ecran 16

Of the eight fibulae found near the deceased's bones, six are exceptionnal.

One large iron fibula of the Mansfeld F3B type features a false cord and loop. While iron fibulae were rare during the Dame de Vix's burial, they make up 90% of the fibulae offered at the Douix spring in Châtillon-sur-Seine, indicating their high prestige and symbolism. Additionally, five fibulae are decorated with precious materials, combining an amber disc, likely from the Baltic, with a coral cabochon, probably from the Mediterranean. These pieces are refined and elegant adornments.
