Hand-Forged Curled Steel Medieval Brooch with Gold Leaf

This unique Pennanular Brooch or Cloak Pin has been hand-forged and curled from from a rod of steel. This strong brooch can be worn several different ways depending on the style/look you are going for. Brooches similar to this were initially developed from the Roman clasp or fibula. In the severe climate of northern Europe, the brooch became the typical ornament of the era because it normally functioned as a fastening for a heavy tunic or cloak. This particular style pays homage to nature with its gold leaf and really creates a striking look with its decorative curls reminiscent of vines and snakes. Perfect for costumes, Renaissance Festivals, or just everyday wear.
