VIKING PROTECTIVE BROOCH NECKLACE C.870-1066 - Fagan Arms
Cambridgeshire, England. Circular bronze, just under 1" diameter. Oval section with a raised band or ridge. Surface textured from burial. Worn in numbers on the surface of the jerkin, these small metal brooches provided a measure of protection against sword cuts and, in fact, were a form of armor. See current Public Television programming for documentation of these in action. As protectors, they also held spiritual significance for the warrior. Professionally refurbished with the silver overlay restored and suspended from a Sterling silver neck chain. Gift boxed with a certificate of authenticity.
Stock Number: A5665
