Replica of an Anglo-Saxon square-headed brooch.
That detailed replica of an Anglo-Saxon Square-headed Brooch is made according to a find from the Isle of Weight / England.
Contrary to the historical original size of 13.8 x 6.65 cm, we have reduced our brooch a little to 9 x 4 cm, which corresponds more to the today used dimensions.
The original of this Anglo-Saxon Square-headed brooch dates from the early 6th century A.D. and was once found in grave 22 of Chessell Down on the Isle of Wight. Today the Anglo-Saxon brooch is exhibited in the British National Museum in London.
Our replica of this Anglo-Saxon Square-headed brooch is made of high-quality bronze and also available in silver-plated. The original brooch was once made of gold-plated silver and niello and is considered as one of the most Square-headed brooches at all.
On the back there is a stable needle, so they are particularly suitable for the closure of thicker material.
The fibula is the best example of a small group of brooches, reflecting a southern Scandinavian influence which shows the close relationship between England and the former Scandinavian home of the Anglo-Saxons.
