Hunnic

Hunnic art consists chiefly of cauldrons, vessels, and jewelry, with necklaces, fibulae and bracelets. The motifs on such items often represent animals, as well as trees and geometric patterns. Hunnic art had a deep influence on Germanic and more generally European art, causing a shift away from the Greco-Roman model. Hunnic art was itself informed by Chinese and especially Persian (East Iranian) art.
