The Viking trefoil brooch measures 5 x 5 cm.
You can buy this Norwegian trefoil brooch in high-quality bronze and in genuine silver-plated.
On the back of the Viking trefoil brooch is a sturdy needle so that it is also suitable for fastening stronger fabrics.
As a component of Frankish military harnesses, trefoil shaped strap distributors also came to Scandinavia and were made into jewellery there. As a typical part of Viking women's costumes, trefoil brooches were soon also made in Scandinavian style.
Such brooches were used without exception in women's costumes, where the trefoil brooch was usually worn in the middle of the chest between the bowl brooches. But in the middle of the 10th century, the trefoil brooch disappeared again from Scandinavian costume.
