Description of the Product

During Viking Age, brooches were used to close the neckline of a tunic, cloak or just for a decoration in general. This disc brooch is made of bronze. It is a detailed replica of a Viking brooch found in Finland. The diameter of the brooch is 4 cm.

The brooch is decorated with a famous Viking style, called "Borre". Brooch depicts animal heads, serpentine braided ribbons and a cross. It is a good representation of time period of a cultural change from paganism towards Christianity with the mixed elements of both faiths.

The Borre style is particularly characterized by mirror-symmetrical motifs, which are often expressed in braided ribbon ornamentation, such as ring chains and pretzel knots, where several mythical creatures are often connected with geometric knot formations. It was most popular during 9th-10th century.

Paikkakunnalla ollessani ja keskiajasta kiinnostuneena täällä oli pakko käydä. Aivan upea ja todella monipuolinen kauppa! Ystävällinen ja mukava myyjä neitonen esitteli minulle Etelä -Tirolilaisen mallin mukaan taidokkaasti valmistettua kypärää, josta tein myös kaupat. Liikkeen omistaja ei myöskään säästänyt vaivojaan esitellessään minulle haarniskavarustuksen eri osia. Erittäin asiakaslähtöistä palvelua! On todella hienoa, että tällaisia erikoisliikkeitä maastamme vielä löytyy, tämäkin kuulemma ainoa laatuaan. On varmaa, että vierailen tässä liikkeessä toistekkin! Täältä löytää uskomattoman paljon myös koriste-esineiksi ja lahjoiksi sopivia tavaroita, joten suosittelen tätä kaikille sellaisiakin etsiville.
