Cloverleaf-fibula in the Borrestyle

Weight  15

Cloverleaf-fibula in the Borre style after examples from the Viking era.

The viking cloverleaf-fibula was developed in the form of carolingian baldric and was widespread throughout the Nordic region.

The model for this Viking decoration in the Borrestil is a find from Smolensk. The original is now in the Moscow Historical Museum.

Dimensions of the cloverleaf-fibula: 4,5 x 4,5 cm.

The viking-time cloverleaf-fibula is available in bronze and in silver.

The cloverleaf-fibula was worn in the center of the woman`s robe, often in combination with two turtle- or shellfibula on the right and left, or a light cloak was closed with it.

The cloverleaf brochure in the Borrestil carries a stable needle on the back, which makes this brochure also suitable for the closure of strong fabrics such as a cloak.

Such fibulae are a decorative accessory for the historical vestment of the Viking Age.
