Silvered bronze. Just under 1” (0.96”)" diameter. Rounded faces, front and back forming a ridged edge. 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. Surface textured from burial. Professionally refurbished with the silver overlay restored and suspended from an 18” Sterling silver neck chain. Jewelry gift boxed with certificate of authenticity.
