<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 634995, member: 2844&quot;]Sometimes we just want to see something antique, don&#039;t we? At times like that I tend to delve pretty deep into history, especially to look at jewellery and other precious goodies of course.</p><p>Today it was Merovingian, named after a Frankish dynasty ca 400-700 AD.</p><p><br /></p><p>I came across this Dutch Merovingian beauty (as you do), and wanted to share it with you:</p><p><img src="https://www.dorestadonthuld.nl/H9-3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The capital of the Merovingian kingdom was in present-day Belgium, but it covered a considerable chunk of Continental Europe.</p><p><img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7b/Merovingian_dynasty.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>More Dutch Merovingian goodies:</p><p><img src="https://historiek.net/wp-content/uploads-phistor1/2014/04/Fibulae-met-granaat-uit-Rhenen.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/dc/Relikwiekastje_uit_de_7de_eeuw.jpg/1280px-Relikwiekastje_uit_de_7de_eeuw.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t know where this one was found, but I wouldn&#039;t mind if I stumbled upon it while doing a spot of gardening:</p><p><img src="https://isgeschiedenis.nl/sites/isgeschiedenis.nl/files/styles/detailpag/public/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/gesp_van_rijnsburg_800p_0.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>And a bit of fun, even though it is a gravestone, front and back, found in Germany.
