Disk Brooch

This copper alloy brooch, embellished with gilding, originates from a period approximately 600 to 650 years ago. It can be observed on display in Gallery 301 at The Met Fifth Avenue.

This brooch hails from the Vendel period in Swedish history, which predates the Viking Age. It reflects the artistic styles and preferences of that era.

During this period, small brooches with abstract designs like this one were fashionable. They continued to be popular until they were eventually replaced by oval Viking brooches, marking a shift in jewelry trends.
