Where a similar form of the bow appears in the large brooches with relief ornaments from a later part of the migration period, I think it transferred here from the cruciform brooches, a circumstance not without interest as it probably proves that such large brooches have been made within the Peninsula. A rarer variety of the bow has beeii shown already in fig. 41 above, having a rhomboidal figure drawn with four lines upon the surface of the bow. This form is found only in the cruciform brooches and only in Norway and Sweclen. It is often com- bined with the form of the bow just men- tioned (as in fig. 45), though it is not necessarily connected with it. I am not able to make out the origin and gradual transformation of it, because it is rather rare in the early stages of the develop- ment. The third variety — of which we have a specimen in fig. 46 — does not, in my opinion, originally belong to the cruciform brooches. This kind of mould- ing of the bow, being regularly found in the large, silver-plated brooches2), which are contemporary with the middle cruci- form brooches, and being certainly a fea- ture properly belonging to that form, must from here have been transferred to some cruciform brooches. It is sometimes com- bined with the two previously treated varieties. In Norway it is not very rare, in Denmark I have seen it only in a few instances, and it seems to be unknown in Fig. J) The Danish specimen is found in Jutland (Copenhagen Museum), it is of silver and provided with ornaments east in relief. A fragment of a brooch in the Copenhagen Museum (nr. 8414) showing a marked development of this form of the bow, has probably come from Norway. 2) Compare Muller: Jernalderen, fig. 264 and fig. 148 Please note that these images are extracted from scanned pa
