Sterling Silver Twisted Ring Brooch

Description

This piece is a reproduction of a silver brooch that was worn, and lost, in the city of 's-Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands, at some time during the very end of the thirteenth century. It may have attached to the outside of an outfit, or been used to secure a shawl, scarf or collar.

Featuring a half-ring twist and understated floral embellishment, the piece is somewhat archetypical of medieval style ring brooches.

The piece is a lost wax casting in Sterling Silver, from a hand-sculpted master mould. We create our masters based on detailed study of archaeological items, then cast and hand-finish each piece in Sydney.

The overall dimensions are 24 x 24 x 3mm.
