Replica of a cloverleaf-fibula with Greiftier in the Osebergstyle after a find from Kaupang.
This extraordinarily beautiful replica of a cloverleaf-fibula in the Oseberg style of the Viking age is created in liking to a finding from Kaupang in Norway and dates to the middle of the ninth century AD.
The original of this cloverleaf-fibula of the Viking age from the southern Norwegian Kaupang is now in the Archaeological Museum in Bergen.
The Norwegian Viking decoration shows an elaborate depiction in the Greiftier ornamentation of the Oseberg style, typical of the early Viking era.
On the backside of the cloverleaf fillet in the Osebergstyle is a stable needle, which can also be used to close more vigorous substances, as well as an eyelet, into which a chain can be attached.
Dimensions Norwegian cloverleaf fillet Greiftier: 6,5 x 6,5 cm.
This beautiful wiking jewelery is available in bronze and silver plated.
The cloverleaf-fibula was worn in the Viking age in the middle of the chest of the women`s clothing, or was used for the closure of light cloaks, and was a characteristic jewel in the Viking era.
The name Kaupang (from old Norse kup and angr for buy and port) is known from several settlements in Norway, but in general this means a specific former Viking town. The Viking Age settlement Kaupang was located at Skiringssal in the southern part of Vestfold in South Norway. This place also bore the name Skíringssalr and is considered the oldest city in Norway. The legend tells that Skiringssalr was founded around the year 600 by the Ynglinger king Olaf Trätelgja. Near Kaupang you could also find the famous Gokstad ship. As the shallow bay that connected Kaupang with the sea was gradually silted, the settlement was eventually abandoned towards the end of the Viking Age.
