VIKING PROTECTIVE BROOCH, C.900-1050 AD 12/27/2022 a little oversized 9 ½Gilt bronze of broad form, over 3 4 in diameter (0. 78). Rounded face and flat back. The edge inset for the cross pin. When fastened to the jerkin, these small metal brooches provided a measure of protection against sword cuts and, in fact, were a form of armor. In addition to being more decorative, examples of this form provided added protection with the trailing tails. See current Public Television programming for documentation of these in action.
