Replica of a granulated disc brooch from the Viking Age.
This expressive disc brooch with detailed filigree decoration in granulation technique is made after a Viking Age find in the so-called Terslev style of the 9th - 10th century.
The Viking Age disc brooch replica was made as faithfully as possible to a find from the

Such Viking jewellery in the
Terslev style, decorated with granulated filigree, is known from several sites, among others also from the island of Hiddensee and from Zealand / DK. In the granulated originals, small beads and fine wires were soldered onto the amulet in filigree work.
Our replica of this filigree disc brooch, on the other hand, is completely cast in one piece, whereby the representation is very
well expressed. The Viking jewellery can also be worn as a pendant with the eyelet on the back.
The treasure of Terslev, after which this Viking jewellery is named, was buried on the
island of Zealand in Denmark towards the end of the tenth century and consisted of a considerable 6.6 kg of silver.
Among them were no less than 1751 coins, mainly of
Arab origin. In addition, the treasure consisted of neck rings and bracelets, necklaces and pendants, a toilet set and a silver drinking service with several cups and a large embossed bowl.
The silver treasure from Terslev is now in the Danish
National Museum in Copenhagen.
