VIKING PROTECTIVE BROOCH NECKLACE, 9th-11th CENTURY AD

$145.00 Sale
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. Just over 1 1/8” diameter with irregular rounded edges and low flat faces, with a tapered cross pin. Professionally refurbished with the silver overlay restored, on a Sterling silver neck chain for contemporary wear. Gift boxed with a certificate of authenticity.
