Ave!

Avar, Belt Plate, Shield-shaped with Pendent, c. 7th-8th Century AD

Copper alloy; Belt plate 30mm / 8.5gm

Con/ As fabricated; both rivets, the pendent is non-attached; green patina; cleaned and waxed.

Seller's Note/ The Avars loved their bling and this is no exception. Such plates were affixed to the back of their belts and would flash, making a jingling sound as they rode along. 

Imagine the jolly and jingling Avars sweeping into your town or village...and burning it to the ground.
