Viking Horse Brooch in Lost Wax Cast Bronze from the 9th-10th Century

Channel the spirit of

Viking Scandinavia

with this hand-cast solid bronze horse head brooch, faithfully modeled after the

artifacts

from the 10th century discovered in Birka. Originally worn by Norse women as an apron or cloak clasp, the stylized equine motif was more than decorative: it signified status, regional identity, and craftsmanship.

Made with the

ancient lost wax method

Each piece begins as a hand-sculpted wax original. Cast bronze replaces the wax, preserving every nuance in the final casting. The result is a brooch rich in texture, depth, and individuality, each subtly unique.

He

horse-shaped motif

• Stylized with flowing mane and intertwined motifs, it was often associated with fertility, movement between kingdoms, and divine guardianship. Vikings adorned their garments with these symbols to convey their status and spiritual beliefs.

These types of bronze brooches were more than just functional fasteners in the Viking Age: they served as symbols of craftsmanship, identity, and wealth. The horse appears in saga art and funerary contexts as a symbol of endurance, status, and a connection to nature.

Ideal for dressing up or displaying authentic Nordic attire, this brooch holds securely with its rigid pin, perfect for linen, wool, or traditional attire.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

Clean with a soft, dry cloth

Avoid chemical cleaners, prolonged humidity, or exposure to salt.
