Bronze Viking Horse Brooch
$78.00
Handmade Solid Bronze with polished finish and 1" clip back pin.
An authentic reproduction of a horse-shaped Viking brooch from an excavation in the Viking city of Birka.
The horse-shaped brooch was found with another mirrored brooch as a pairtogether with other Viking Age grave goods in the grave Bj 854 and is indeed an exceptional find.
Instead of the usual Viking oval brooches, this horse-shaped brooch was found on the left below the shoulders, where they obviously had the function to hold the Viking woman's dress.
Handmade brooch is made of golden high-quality bronze. The eyeof the horse is inlaid with red glass enamel.
There is a sturdy pinon the back of the horse-shaped brooch, which also suits well for stronger woollen fabrics.
The dimensionsare 2" x 1 1/4"
This brooch is an exact historical replica of the original art piece! A beautiful authentic work of art for the person that appreciates history.
