Enter the world of the Viking Age with this

Solid Cast Brass Viking Cloak Clasp Gulbische

A meticulously recreated clasp inspired by archaeological finds from the Baltic regions of the 9th to 11th centuries. This elegant brooch echoes designs discovered in the Gulbische area—present-day Latvia—where Nordic and Baltic cultures met and flourished along trade and settlement routes.

Forged in

solid brass by traditional sand casting

This brooch reflects the same techniques employed by medieval blacksmiths. In sand casting, molten brass is poured into a hand-carved mold with fine sand, capturing intricate details in relief and leaving a subtle surface texture unique to each piece. The result is a piece that not only functions as a closure mechanism but also has the visual weight and tactile feel of ancient craftsmanship.

Each side of the closure features

four-lobed diamond shape

enriched with

intertwined knots

and a central boss, evoking the symbolism of strength, unity, and sacred geometry. When combined, the brooch serves as a secure and striking closure for wool or linen cloaks, ideal for Viking warriors, Baltic chieftains, or ceremonial garments worn in cold Nordic climates.

This historically based accessory is

easy to place

Through the pre-drilled mounting holes - sew it directly to your cloak or rivet it in place for a more permanent solution. Whether you're mounting a Norse chieftain's cloak or enhancing your wardrobe, this cloak brooch offers both

functional durability

and

historical depth

.
