This magnificent disc fibula represents one of the most beautiful examples of Lombard goldsmithing from the 7th century AD, as part of the grave goods of a female burial found in Borgo della Posta in Parma in 1950.

The gold disc is decorated with garnets and almandine stones, cut and set in a golden cage with irregular edges and thin enough to make the gold shine against the background; the decoration is divided into three circular crowns distinguished by different geometric motifs; the second band houses small gold plates decorated with a burin, while the outermost and central ones were embellished with large gems, of which only the circular bezels remain, already lost at the time of the discovery.

The rich set also included two gold rings, a gilded mercury belt element, a necklace made up of two gold foil bullae and elements in various materials (amethyst, sea water, rock crystal, glass paste, bone and terracotta), five gold plates decorated in embossing and a thin gold thread (intended to decorate the dress), a cross in thin gold plate (probably sewn onto the veil of the deceased) and a large bronze basin, Coptic invoice.

The richness of this burial and the presence of the basin, connected to baptismal rites, made Giorgio Monaco (then director of the Archaeological Museum) hypothesize that the important female character could be none other than the daughter of Agilulfo, married to Godescalco of Parma and died in childbirth in AD 604; although only a suggestive hypothesis, the grave goods can actually be dated to the first quarter of the seventh century and are undoubtedly much richer than was usual in the Lombard age, such as to be attributed to a woman of high rank.
