The Fuller Brooch is the earliest known personification of the Five Senses. This splendid circular brooch is made from hammered sheet silver. The center part is decorated with five figures who represent the five human senses. In the center is Sight, with large staring oval eyes. The other four senses surround Sight, and can be identified by their actions. Taste has a hand in his mouth. Smell's hands are behind his back, and he stands between two tall plants. Touch rubs his hands together. Hearing holds his hand to his ear.
