It may ihen be tåken as a most likely supposition that the prototype of the cruciform brooches appeared about the middle of the 4th cent. and that such early forms as figs. 23—25 above were used during the late part of the same Fig. 141. %. Fig. 142. %. Some examples should here be recorded to show how careful one must be not to fix the clates too precisely as the graves and other deposits from which our knowleclge is drawn, naturally contain objects that are not all absolutely of the same age. - - ln a grave in Ringerike the fine brooch fig. 143 was found associated with the mountings of a scabbard fig. ) The brooch is of the early form corresponding to speeimens which have been attributed above to the end of the 4th cent.; it is solidly east and ornamented with silver inlaid in the surface. The silver mountings of a scabbard (fig. 144), found in the same grave, are on the other hand very to the Danish system, and that the 5th of them is in good accordance with the 7th period of prof. Moktelius, no respect being bad to the absohite dates; in the „Irish style" of this period no distinction is made between the really Irish motives and the ornaments which dr.
