Document Details : Title: Openwork Bronze Buckles from the Caucasus Subtitle: Problems of Attribution Author(s): KIPIANI, G. Journal: Ancient West & East Volume: 5 Issue: 1-2 Date: 2006 Pages: 199-214 DOI: 10.2143/AWE.5.1.3291746 Abstract : This note examines whether the bronze buckles/clasps found in profusion in Georgia were really belt-fastenings. Stylistic study of different groups, as well as the circumstances of discovery and the pattern of distribution, indicates that they were really pieces of breast armour belonging to royal troops of the Caucasian Iberian kingdom. |
