Both gold and silver fibulae with similar decoration have been found in northern Greece, including examples decorated with female heads, probably representing Omphale or Artemis. Such fibulae were usually worn in sets of six. For similar, cf. D. Williams and J. Ogden, Greek Gold: Jewellery of the Classical World, British Museum, 1994, p. 78, no. 33.
