The Romanized peoples of Pannonia remained Christian under Avar rule. This brooch from the region shows the adoration of the Magi, a well-known Christian scene. On the right, 3 bearded men bring gifts to the infant Christ in the stable at Bethlehem. The arrangement of the scene is so similar to Byzantine examples that it was probably copied from a Byzantine source, reflecting continuous links with the Empire. Possibly from Hungary. Late 500s-600s CE. (The British Museum, London)
