In this piece, silver, niello and a deep-red glass stone make a robust visual impact. The fibula would have been one of a pair. A layer of brass supports the silver layer above. Sarah Corbett commented in 2011: “An anti-Atlas piece in the fabrication style of ida ou semial pieces, but I would chance that this beauty is possibly from Arkhass.”
