VIKING PROTECTIVE BROOCH 10th-11th CENTURY AD.

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. 3/4” diameter with ridged faces and edge. Dimpled twice for the cross pins. Professionally refurbished with the silver overlay restored, on a sterling silver chain for contemporary wear. Gift boxed with a certificate of authenticity.
