The cloisonné gold buckle with almandines is one of the most significant works in the museum. It is decorated with a plaque with the heads of birds of prey, a symbol dear to the cults derived from the culture of the nomads of the steppes. It is part of a precious nucleus of jewels which also includes a carnelian with a lion hunting scene from the Roman era and other ornamental elements in gold. The buckle dates back to the time of the migrations in Italy of Odoacer (469/470 AD) and Theodoric (489) who brought with them cultural traditions and goldsmith objects typical of the East Germanic culture. In addition to the economic power and the high lineage of the owner, the jewelry complex documents the encounter between East Germanic and Roman culture.
