Add a distinctive Norse touch to your historical outfit with this Viking Penannular Brooch, crafted from solid brass with a detailed animal-inspired design. The classic penannular shape makes it suitable for fastening cloaks, capes, tunics and other medieval-inspired garments.

Made from solid brass, this Viking Brooch offers a durable and long-lasting construction. The brass surface has a warm natural look and gradually develops patina with time and use.

Classic Penannular Design

The open-ring construction is characteristic of a penannular brooch, a practical style used as a clothing fastener. The pin passes through the fabric and around the opening of the ring to hold the garment securely.

Historical Inspiration
