During the Merovingian period artistic traditions that were developed in Kent, such as these bird-shaped brooches, spread through commerce and many similar examples have been found in France, suggesting that they were either copied by local workshops or imported. Cf. accession no. 17.191.74 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York for a similar bird-shaped brooch.
