This Urnes Brooch is inspired by the final artistic style of the Viking Age, dating to the mid-11th century. It is made from antique solid brass and has a detailed openwork design with flowing, interlaced animal designs.

The Urnes style takes its name from the famous stave church of Urnes in southern Norway, built around the year 1100. This style is known 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 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.

Brass was widely used in early jewelry 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.
