Buy a box brooch replica of the early Viking Age.
Here you can buy a true-to-detail reproduction of a Viking box brooch from the early Viking Age that is made according to a historical model from the village of Boge northeast of Visby on the Swedish isle of Gotland and dates to the 10th century.During the Viking Age, box brooches (also called drum brooches) were worn almost exclusively on the Swedish island of Gotland and were an elementary part of Gotlandic women's dress from the 8th to the 11th century.
Worn on the chest, the Viking box brooch served to close a cape.
The diameter of our Gotland box brooch is 5.5 cm, the height is 3.5 mm, and thus almost corresponds to the historical model.
The Viking box brooch has a separate bottom decorated with animal figures in the older rune stone style which was originally used on another drum brooch.
You can buy the box brooch made from high-quality bronze casting or in real silver-plated.
