Offered here are these Viking style pennanular brooches.The brooch part is made of 4 wires firewelded together and then twisted and the ends curled over.The pin is made from 3 wires.They are about 2 1/2-3inch in diameter.This style of brooch was common from the late iron age right through to the medieval period.Im asking £12 posted for them.Thanks for looking.
