The Burgundian Kingdom
(5-7th c. A.D.)

[Burgundian ivory buckle from the tomb of St. Caesarius of Arles, Notre Dame la Major] 1. Ivory buckle from the tomb of St. Caesarius of Arles, Notre Dame la Major. 6th c. Perhaps showing two soldiers attending Christ's tomb. While the buckle's style is Burgundian, the subject matter is based on the earlier Italo-Roman treatment, and the use of ivory is also Mediterranean. Reflects 6th-century fusion of Roman and Germanic culture.
[bronze buckle showing Daniel in the lions' den. Burgundian] 2. Tin-plated bronze buckle showing Daniel in the lions' den. Burgundian 7th c. (?). (Lausanne: Mus. cant. d'Arch.)
