Defects and types of faults in jewelry pieces: the case study of barbarian champleve enamels

He paper analyzes types of faults in jewelry pieces and causes of such defects on the champleve enamels from the barbarian contexts. The most common defects have been grouped and structured. It is inferred from the analysis that even jewelry pieces of lower quality with various defects were bought by consumers. Presumably, it is an evidence of the fact that to own such an item of high status was of principal importance.
