Replica of an Animal headed brooch from Gotland.
Here you can buy a detailed replica of an animal headed brooch of the Viking Age, which was made after a historical model from Gotland.
Link to the original model...
The animal head brooch was worn during the Viking Age almost
exclusively on the Swedish island of Gotland as part of a woman's costume and was widespread there from the 8th to the 11th century.
The animal head brooches worn in pairs were used to fasten the straps of the Viking
apron dress. In addition, another animal head brooch in a different style or a box brooch was often placed in the middle and worn to close the cloak.
The Gothic animal head brooch has a separate base and
measures 6 x 4 x 3 cm - it is thus somewhat smaller than the historical model.
The animal head brooch is elaborately handcrafted from high-quality
bronze or in genuine
silver-plated and carefully patinated, which highlights the decorative motifs very well.
