Norse Raven Head Penannular Brooch Cloak Pin- Brass

This Viking Brass Penannular Brooch is a faithful reproduction of a traditional Norse cloak pin, crafted with detailed raven heads—symbols of wisdom, strength, and the warrior’s path. The penannular design (an open ring with a movable pin) was widely used by the Norse and other early medieval cultures to fasten cloaks and heavy woolen garments with reliability and style.

Cast in solid brass, this brooch features elaborately sculpted terminals, showcasing the zoomorphic motifs often found in Viking metalwork. Whether seen as ravens of Odin or stylized dragon heads, these powerful creatures reflect both mythic significance and culture.

The Penannular Brooch is ideal for securing cloaks, shawls or tunics. The ring-and-pin mechanism is easy to use: simply pierce the fabric with the pin, then rotate the brooch so that the tension holds the garment firmly in place.

Brooches like this were common throughout Viking and early medieval Europe, worn by both men and women for practical and decorative use. They have been found in burial sites, settlements across the Norse world.
