Summary edit

Description
English: 06. Scandinavian triangular shaped trefoil brooches from AD 900-1050. Worn either pointing upwards or downwards as fastener (of the mantle) in front of women's clothing. Decorated with plant (Carolingian style) and animal ornamentation, modelled after Frankish 9th c. bandolier (sword-belt) mounts (strap distributors) taken back to Scandinavia and further copied as true brooches by Viking craftsmen. The design became so popular that they were locally produced throughout Scandinavia. They were produced in gold, silver and copper alloy.
