EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning pair of Eagle-Shaped Brooches created by the talented artists of the Merovingian School. Crafted from metal and enamel, these brooches stand at an impressive height of 14.2 cm, making them a remarkable example of medieval metalwork. Displayed in the Musee National du Moyen Age et des Thermes de Cluny in Paris, these brooches are a testament to the intricate craftsmanship of the Frankish era. The eagle motif symbolizes power and strength, reflecting the cultural significance it held during that time. The technique used to create these brooches is known as cloisonné, where thin strips of metal are carefully arranged to form compartments filled with vibrant enamel colors. This meticulous process results in a visually striking piece that captures attention with its exquisite detailing. These brooches also bear resemblance to Visigoth artistry, showcasing influences from various cultures prevalent during this period. Their symmetrical design highlights their purpose as fibulae or decorative fasteners worn on clothing. Photographed by A© Peter Willi, this image preserves not only the beauty but also the historical importance of these ancient artifacts. It serves as a reminder of our rich artistic heritage and invites us to appreciate and admire the masterpieces created by skilled craftsmen centuries ago.
