Beautiful antique brooch view... similar to the one shown at the big exhibitions " SAXONES" - the first millennium in Lower Saxony State... at the Braunschweigisches Landesmuseum... with wonderful World Post Day cancellation annually held on October 9đź’™... and also matching World Post day stamp... World Post Day is celebrated in remembrance of the establishment of Universal Postal Union (UPU) in 1874 in Bern, Switzerland... it was declared as the World Post Day by the UPU Congress held in Tokyo, Japan, in 1969... Thanks a lot

A fibula is a brooch or pin for fastening garments, typically at the right shoulder.
The fibula developed in a variety of shapes, but all were based on the safety-pin principle.
Unlike most modern brooches, fibulae were not only decorative; they originally served a practical function: to fasten clothing, such as cloaks.
There are hundreds of different types of fibulae.
