Hand forged with great attention to detail, this decorative brooch features leaf ornaments in a matte black finish and is attached via a 4 inch long pin. As attractive as it is useful, this handsome brooch is representative of jewelry used to pin closed cloaks or other garments. Especially useful in the harsh climates of Northern Europe, fashions in brooches (also known in ancient times as a fibula) often changed very quickly, making them important chronological indicators.
