Item Details
Description
Gilt bronze. Circular, just under 1" diameter with broad, rounded face. Worn in numbers on the surface of the jerkin, these small metal brooches provided a measure of protection against sword cuts and, in fact, were a form of armor. See current Public Television programming for documentation of these in action. As protectors, they also held spiritual significance for the warrior. Surface excellent, professionally conserved and the gold surface restored. On a modern black leather neck cord with gilt chain closure.
