With this size the thistle brooch is well suited to close a heavy woollen cape and is therefore best suited for authentic Viking reenactment.
The Viking thistle brooch originated during the late 9th century in the former Celtic areas of Ireland and soon found its way to England and Scandinavia through the settlement of the Irish island by the Vikings.
Thus, in the 10th century, the thistle brooch not only enjoyed great popularity in the insular world, but was also soon copied and further developed by West Norwegian craftsmen as a component of men's costumes.
Interestingly, original thistle brooches of insular origin are mainly found in women's graves, whereas the native copies are mainly found in men's graves.
