Pair of Tortoise Brooches

73.99$

Brand:Asgard

Based on a find from Lisbjerg, Denmark, they sport a very cheerful looking gripping beast design. They are lighter than our previous version with a new mould being produced to replicate the traditional construction method. As a result, the back of the brooch is patterned with weave from the cloth used when making the mould – just like the originals.

The brooches are 8.2 cm long, and weigh about 90g each. They are cast in lead free pewter in Scotland and hand assembled by the Asgard crew.

Asgard

Here at Asgard we have one passion: Vikings!

We've spent thousands of hours over the last twenty years studying Viking period artefacts. We've honed our experimental archaeology skills to work out how things were made 1000 years ago, and applied that to the replica Viking items we hand make in Scotland.
