Everyone who has seen it has said "Wow!, It's Beautiful!, Is it real?" Yes, it is. At the Pensic War in August we spoke with a Viking reenactor who said that the projections were used to weave colored ribbons for a special look.

Cast in bronze, these brooches are also available with a silver-plated or blackened silver-plated finish. They use steel pins for strength.

Pair of brooches, each measures 3-3/8" by 2-1/4" (8.6 cm by 5.6 cm)
