LOMBARD ORNAMENTS MADE OF GOLD FOIL – DATED AFTER 675 – NATIONAL MUSEUM, BERN

 

The Lombard art of metalwork is witnessed by these ornamental depictions of gold foil found in a tomb discovered in Stabio: to the left an elegant flower motif; to the right a lively depiction of an animal.

According to Baserga this last ornament would have been applied to the belt, and the other to the shield.
