ID for Zoomorphic brooch, please

Renate H:
The question of what is gothic and what is not has long been a concern of archaeology, and I cannot solve it. A short statement on this can be found in Georgiev, Peter (2019): Стара Велика България. (The Old Great Bulgaria), page 151. At that time, enamelling was no longer done on Roman territory, glass paste was used from time to time. That's why I suspect that the piece comes from the Barbaricum.  I have been interested in this subject for a long time, and I am curious to see if I can find comparative pieces of this type of brooch (bow brooch with champleve enamel on the foot and head plate) at some point.
