VIKING PROTECTIVE BROOCH NECKLACE, 10th CENTURY AD

$285.00
Gilt bronze. Over 1 ¼” (1.31”) diameter. Circular with annular banding and quartered transverse bands, the top and bottom flanking stylized Mani in Fede (clasped hands) motif. The edge is inset for the cross pin. When fastened to 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 24karat gold overlay restored and suspended from an 18” gilt sterling silver neck chain. Jewelry gift boxed with certificate of authenticity.
Item ID: B7958
