Disc brooch in the Urnes style of the late Viking Age.
Here you can buy an expressive Viking jewellery with the depiction of a serpent, inspired by the so-called Urnes style, which was common in Scandinavia in the late Viking Age.
On the back of the disc brooch is a sturdy pin. This makes the disc brooch perfect for stronger fabrics, such as a woollen cape.
Diameter of the Viking brooch 4.5 cm.
You can buy the disc brooch in bronze and also in real silver plated or 925 sterling silver.
Disc brooches were usually worn in the middle of a woman's garment during the Viking Age, but they were also used to close the cape.
The last artistic style of the Viking Age is called the Urnes style, after the famous stave church in Urnes in southern Norway, and dates from the mid-11th century. Here, magnificent carvings in this distinctive animal style were found, which are still in excellent condition today.
The Urnes style is typical of a variety of jewellery, especially openwork brooches and brooches with wonderfully intertwined bodies, which can be found throughout the northern region from Ireland to Russia towards the end of the Viking Age.
The stave church of Urnes is located in the small Norwegian village of Ornes on a side arm of the Sognefjord. The stave church was built around 1100 and is therefore considered the oldest stave church in the world.
