Definitions Boundaries and overlap with other types: this type is referred to as Almgren 16 regularly (Böhme 1972, 14, part of type 15; Riha 1979, 61, type 1.7), which is related but different since this brooch has no foot knob and Almgren 16 does.
Distribution: most often found in the Dutch river area; with smaller numbers in the South of the Netherlands, and the German Rhineland. Scarce in Belgium.
