This true-to-detail reproduction is based on an early medieval Bavarian brooch from the Merovingian period.
The historical model was found in Aschheim in Southern Germany and dates from around 600 AD.
The decoration shows four whirling heads of birds of prey looking to the left with eyes made of red enamel, flanked by four necks decorated with Celtic bands. In the centre of the original disc brooch there was a four-pass area with notched decorations.
From the 5th to the early 7th century, disc brooches combined with bow brooches were a characteristic part of the dress of the wealthy woman during the early Middle Ages.
This handmade Merovingian brooch is offered in high-quality bronze. A beautifully detailed brooch that will be a real attention getter!
Perfect for a kilt, tartan, coat or sweater.
