Raven brooches Vendel silver-plated

Raven brooches based on historical models.

The noble raven brooch in the style of the Vendel period probably depicts one of the ravens Hugin and Munin, who accompanied the Germanic god Odin on his travels.

The jewelry was worn in pairs on the shoulders and was used to fasten the garment.

The bird brooch is cast from bronze, silver-plated and elaborately polished so that the fine depiction is shown to its best advantage. The back of the Vendel period raven brooch is fitted with a sturdy pin.
