3rd-5th century AD. A Kiev culture bronze openwork brooch formed with geometric panels of red enamel and voids, trapezoidal body with cruciform footplate; spring, catch and staple to the reverse. 42.8 grams, 97mm (4"). From an old British private collection; formerly from the collection of Mr D.R.G.; acquired on the European art market in 2001. The Kiev archaeological culture was located in the basin of the rivers Dnieper and Visla between the 3rd and 5th centuries; archaeologists connect this culture with the historical ancestors of the Slavs. However, there are suggestions that in different regions of the Kiev culture the ethnogenetic processes were not the same. In some cases, the Slavic component prevailed, whilst Baltic and others were dominant elsewhere.
