The arts and crafts of our Teutonic forefathers . ead, shown in fig. 112, a disc ofcloisonne enamel. A champleve piece, apparentlyearly, is at Buda-Pest, and there are a few speci-mens from the territory of the Franks in pure mi-gration-period style that show attempts at enamel-ling combined with inlays. There are specimensat St. Germain, Nuremberg, Worms, etc. The St. Germain piece, fig. 114, was found atWaben, Pas de Calais ; it shows in open work thefamiliar motive of the griffin (?) drinking, and theincised parts are filled in with a greenish paste thatmay be disintegrated enamel. The Iron Crown of Lombardy at Monza, of thebeginning of the seventh century, shows cloisonneenamel, and the reliquary of St. Maurice, shown infig. 3 on Plate I, has enamel on the upper ridge,where stones for inlaying would have had to be cutwith rounded facets. These and other pieces showthe continuity of the technique through the migra-tion period, and form an important link of connec-tion between the earlier enamel work and the Rhine- 198 PLATE XXVIll.
