Add a distinctive Norse touch to your historical outfit with this Viking Penannular Brooch, crafted from solid brass with a detailed animal-inspired design. The classic penannular shape makes it suitable for fastening cloaks, capes, tunics and other medieval-inspired garments.
Made from solid brass, this Viking Brooch offers a durable and long-lasting construction. The brass surface has a warm natural look and gradually develops patina with time and use.
The terminals have stylized animal-inspired details, depicting the zoomorphic decoration seen in Viking Age. Animal-head and animal-interlace designs appear on surviving brooches and other ornaments from the period.
The open-ring construction is characteristic of a penannular brooch, a practical style used as a clothing fastener. The pin passes through the fabric and around the opening of the ring to hold the garment securely.
Penannular brooches were used across the Viking world and surrounding regions for fastening clothing such as cloaks and mantles. Archaeological examples have been found in Viking-period graves and hoards, including examples from Birka and Gotland.
Ideal for Viking costumes, medieval clothing, LARP, historical reenactment, Renaissance fairs, cosplay, festivals, theatrical costumes and everyday historical-inspired outfits.
