This Urnes Brooch or decoration is inspired by the Viking Age, from around the 11th century. It is crafted from antique solid brass and has a detailed openwork design with flowing, interlaced animal designs.
The Urnes style is given the name from the famous stave church of Urnes in southern Norway, built around the year 1100. This style is famous for its slim, elegant creatures and tight knotwork patterns. Similar designs were found across Scandinavia and nearby regions, making this brooch a strong example of viking urnes style metalwork.
Disc brooches and decorations like this were commonly used to fasten cloaks, shawls, and garments made from thick fabrics like wool. This works well as a viking disc brooch, with a strong pin on the back that holds securely without bending. It can also be used as a decorative piece on historical clothing. While the decoration has 2 tangs at the back which can be used to attach it to the leather crafting accessories.
Brass was widely used in early jewelery because it is durable and naturally resistant to rust and corrosion. The antique finish increases the depth of the carving and gives the brooch an old world look. This also fits well with saxon disc brooch styles, making it suitable for a wide range of early medieval styles.
