Repton Brooch, Bronze

Product number: 3758

Brooch based on a find from Repton, UK, at the site where a large Viking army had their winter camp in the year 873. The find was made by an amateur detectorist and its current day fate is unknown to us - which is the case with most such finds. Far from all end up in museums where they can be seen by the general public.

We decided to make a replica of it due to the interesting design, which could with some wishful thinking be interpreted as a 4-arm Aegishjalmur. It is also available as a pendant (the original find was a brooch) here: Repton Pendant

The original image originates from a documentary about the great Viking army.
