Jorvik Replica Viking Age Scroll Work Brooch 2

This disc brooch is a replica of one from Coppergate, York which dates from the 10th Century. The design is a fake filligree in a cross shaped arrangement with a central quatrefoil. This is similar to other disc brooches found in York and across Viking age England. Gilding, or gold plating, was carried out on many jewelry items in the Viking age, using the mercury gilding process. This piece has a 1micron thick layer of gold, plated over pewter, to give an attractive representation of what some of these Viking age pieces may have looked like when they were first made.   It is cast in lead free pewter in Scotland, then gold plated.
