Description of the Product

During Viking Age and medieval times, penannular brooches, also called horseshoe brooches, were used to close a cape or cloak on the right shoulder. They also fastened tunics and legwraps in place, and sometimes small brooches were used simply as a decoration. Here is a listing for two hand forged penannular brooches.

The ring brooch is a garment clasp that is well over a thousand years old and has practical uses. Especially in the Viking Age, but also among the Teutons and Romans, the ring brooch has been present. The horseshoe brooch was particularly widespread in the Viking period between 790 and 1060.

The pin of the ring brooch is inserted through the fabric of the cloak on the right shoulder and fixed with the round part so that the brooch cannot come loose.

Good quality cloak pin/brooch. Arrived fast for an international delivery and the brooch was exactly as described and shown in the photos. Perfect sized for fastening a cloak and to add to my collection of Viking Age clothing.

Oletetun kokoinen, tarpeeksi terävä, ettei vaatteisiin tule reikiä. Jatkuvassa käytössä päivittäin

Erittäin hyvä ja autenttinen lisä viikinki-tai rautakauden asuun.
Very good and authentic add-on to your Iron age or Viking costume.

Bought the metal Rotella shield here. It shipped to Italy in just a couple days perfectly packaged and without a single bump (impressive since it's a sheet metal item).

  Super impressed! I'll admit I'm no historian, but the cloak I purchased was both fashionable and practical! In my search for historical clothing that's more than just a cheap costume, I believe I've found my place :) Delivery for me was fast - only two working days to receive it! Though I am in Finland. Will definitely be buying from here again :)

  Heb bij hun via internet een replica van een romeinse helm gekocht. Was precies zoals getoond op hun internet site. Ze zijn snel en correct in hun communicatie en levering.
