Viking Bronze Round Disc Brooch - 10th Century Norse Style Filigree Pattern

This ornate

Viking disc brooch

Inspired by 10th-century finds from Scandinavia and the Baltic region. Lavishly decorated with filigree, the brooch features the classic

Urnes-style knots

with symmetrical scrolls and spiral motifs, a hallmark of Viking art from the late Norse period.

These brooches were more than just fasteners: they were powerful symbols of status and identity worn by Viking women and, occasionally, Viking men. These round bronze brooches were used to close cloaks or hold together tunics and overgarments. Today, they remain an iconic element of historically accurate Viking attire.
