Replica of a disc fibula in the Jellingstyle of the Viking age after a find from England.
This detailed replica of a perforated disk fibula is made according to a Viking-time original from the second half of the 10th century and represents a symbiosis between jelling and borrestile.
The historic model for this beautiful Viking decoration was found in Cambridgeshire in England. Fibulae of this type are however also known from other Viking-time finds.
Thus only five such founds have been made. One in Birka in Sweden, three in Denmark, and one in Sachsen-Anhalt in Germany.
Diameter of the Disc Fibula is 3,5 cm. The dimensions thus correspond approximately to the historical model.
The replica of the Viking-time disc fibula is available after an English find in bronze and in silver.
On the backside, the Viking jewelery is provided with a solid needle of about 1 mm thickness, which is used to attach the scarf to the robe, preferably to close the shirt.
The Jelling style developed in the second half of the 10th century at the Danish Royal Court in Jelling (Jutland). The characteristics of the Jelling style are band and S-shaped animal figures. The Jelling style was used on wooden, metal and stone utensils, jewelry and rune-crosses and was created by the contact between the Scandinavian and the Anglo-Saxon world, which had already been used in the art of the Viking era. Through these Anglo-Saxon influences, the Greiftier, the dominant motif in Viking art, was replaced as the main motif and now replaced by band-shaped animal figures depicted in the profile
