Interesting grave goods. Is it determined what the pieces of the first photo are from?
Well if I had to guess they might be for horse tack but I honestly have no idea without looking at a finds report and their grave positions.
That'd be my guess too. Incidentally, any thoughts on the potential origin of the cicadas/bees of Childeric in Hunnic harness decorations?
Isn't it generally accepted hat the Childeric Bees were for a Paludamentum?
Last thing I read suggested more plausible as tack... I'll try to locate! :)
I'm not sure how how many were found, but decorating a cloak with bees wouldn't be much different from the eastern style of (1/2)
the three-pearl decoration/motif. But I could totally see it being a part of Horse tack. (2/2).
Considering the nature of Childeric's rise to power as has been suggested by Bona, it seems likely it originates from the Pontic fashion.

Yeah there looks like a cloisonne Bee Brooch on page 156. Also whoever the Hun on Page 153 was, he served in the Empire. Dolphin-Buckle.
Will have to give that a thorough read tonight. Have it saved but hadn't gotten around to it yet.
