I have seen one brooch only which may be counted as a later development of this type (fig*. 16),2) though the form of the foot of this brooch certainly has been transferred from a Prussian form. It is an interesting fact that influences from that country can be tra- ced as far as Western Norway, a fact which is of importance re- sp ecting some points of the following in- vestigation. At last we have to study a third variety with three knobs, placed in ab out the same man- ner as in the Roman brooches, or with one knob only, pla- ced at the top of the bow. As a whole, this form too has been derived from Fig. 15. V]. the same Teutonic origin as the others just mentioned; but the top-knob produces some difference regard- ing the arrangement of the hinge and the spring-coil. The knob is not placed directly upon the bow but separated from it by the small perpendicular plate, in the centre of which is fastened the.
