Bronze and iron clasps

The famous Iron Age discovery site at Col de Flam contains a number of weapons and tools as well as various objects for adorning the person, which were used in rituals. Alongside bronze bracelets, rings and a bead, there are numerous fastening clasps for clothing made of bronze and iron. They have been dated back to 400 to 15th century B.C. according to their decorative features and shapes.
