Overview
Iron Penannular Fibula Brooch - Lord of Battles
This hand forged penannular brooch is crafted from iron. A simple, but dignified design, a brooch of this sort is quite fitting to fasten the cloaks of Vikings, Celts and Scots. Fibula of this kind were common throughout Europe, all they way from the late Roman period, the Dark Ages and the Early Medieval period.
Through these time periods and among these cultures, iron was quite valuable, and the common man or woman would wear a brooch such this - a style that manages to be elegant, yet utilitarian enough to use a minimal amount of iron.
