The seven buttons on the headplate of this Gothic brooch served primarily as decorative elements and symbolic embellishments, as buttons were not yet known as functional fasteners during the Migration Period. They evolved from the rollers and end buttons of earlier brooch forms. Compared to other jewelry of this era, such bow brooches were usually worn in pairs on the shoulders to securely fasten garments, cloaks, or coats, while simultaneously emphasizing the wearer's social status.
Which specific archaeological sites served as models for this replica, and how does the way it is worn differ between men and women?

This replica is based on Gothic finds from the 4th to 5th centuries from Eastern Europe and the Black Sea region. The seven-knob fibula was worn by women in pairs as a garment fastener at the shoulders, while men usually wore it individually as a cloak fastener.
Which alloys were commonly used for such brooches in the Early Middle Ages, and how can the brass of this replica best be cared for to maintain its authentic appearance in the long term?

In the Early Middle Ages, brooches were typically made from copper alloys such as bronze, as well as silver or tin-lead alloys. To maintain the authentic look of the brass replica, it is recommended to always dry the piece after contact with moisture or skin oils and to polish it regularly with a soft cloth. The resulting darker patina (oxidation layer) is historically authentic and also protects the metal from further corrosion.
