These Baltic brooches and dividers are replicas of a grave finding from Livonia. They were my second set of tortoise brooches, and I’ve used them so much since I bought them 8 years ago… A large number of very similar findings have been made in the same area, where such dividers were commonly used to wear (and show off) multiple glass bead chains, amulets, pendants, and household items such as keys, combs, needle boxes or knives. 💎🗝✨ These days I am planning a whole new outfit, and on the lookout for a new and different set of brooches! I’m focusing on Scandinavian findings this time, namely the areas in Norway and Sweden where the majority of my other items are from... 🧵💙 #turtlebrooches #tortoisebrooches #viking #vikings #vikingclothing #norse #vikingwoman #vikinglife #vikingblog #valkyrie #valkyrja https://www.instagram.com/p/CMIRc2QHN0r/?igshid=w837r1msvli7

• The brooches • Part 1/6 of "The woman at Spurkeland", early 900s CE ✨

The bronze tortoise brooches found in the grave were double shelled. The open-work top shells were gold-plated and richly ornamented, with a smooth inner shell beneath. They are within type R652/654 (Rygh), categorized as P51 in Petersen's classification of tortoise brooches. This is actually the most common brooch design from the Viking Age, with findings spread from Norway (with about 50 findings in my county alone) to Denmark, Sweden, Iceland, the British Isles, Russia... That makes you think, doesn't it? I find it so interesting how these fashion designs managed to find their way to local farmsteads up hill and down dale, in a time where travel was done by foot, horse and ship. #viking #vikings #norse #vikingage #vikingtid #reenactment #vikingreenactment #livinghistory #levendehistorie #archaeology #spurkeland #vikinglife #vikingbling #tortoisebrooches #historicalclothing #historicaljewelry #historicaljewellery #vikingblog #valkyrie #valkyrja https://www.instagram.com/p/CS-CpG7Lmsa/?utm_medium=tumblr
