介绍（中）	类似于这件作品的胸针在格鲁吉亚东部的遗址中被发掘出来。与博物馆的例子几乎相同的一个来自Medzhi遗址的199号墓，年代为三世纪末或四世纪初。挖掘出的这个例子保存了现在这里所缺少的元素：背面的铁钉、悬挂在雄鹿脚上的青铜链和悬挂在鹿角和口环上的螺旋和圆盘这枚胸针的原始形状带有许多垂饰，是一件富有活力的首饰，当佩戴者移动时会产生声音和反射光。鹿本身是以某种风格化的方式建模的，耳朵和尾巴开着环，可能曾经有悬挂的元素。动物的嘴里仍然有一个环，它可能挂着一个圆盘或其他装饰性的悬挂物。这只动物警觉的姿势，以及雄鹿形成大头针的想法，让人想起了稍早来自格鲁吉亚的皮带扣。甚至鹿角之间的编织水平带也与早期作品的装饰边界相呼应别针由青铜铸造，分为三部分：脸颊和颈部、身体和臀部。鹿的背部是中空的，除了腿。连接机构的一部分仍然保留着：一端的金属丝杆固定着一个松动的环，另一端的钩。
介绍（英）	Brooches similar to this piece have been excavated in sites in eastern Georgia. One virtually identical to the Museum's example comes from grave 199 at the site of Medzhi and is dated to the end of the third or the beginning of the fourth century. The excavated example has preserved elements that are now missing from the one here: an iron pin in the back, bronze chains with dangling finial elements suspended from the feet of the stag, as well as spirals and disks suspended from loops in the antlers and mouth. The brooch, in its original form with many dangles, was an exuberant piece of jewelry that would have created sound and reflected light as the wearer moved. The deer itself is modeled in a somewhat stylized way, with the ears and tail open loops that may once have held suspended elements. A loop still exists in the mouth of the animal, which probably held a disk or other decorative dangle. The alert pose of the animal, and the idea of a stag forming a pin, recall slightly earlier belt clasps from Georgia. Even the braided horizontal band between the antlers echoes the decorative borders of the earlier pieces. The pin is cast in bronze in three sections, cheek and neck, body, and rump. The back of the deer is hollow, except for the legs. Part of the attachment mechanism is still preserved: a wire bar at one end holds a loose ring and a hook at the other.
