Original silver example as found. Just over 7/8” diameter with original cross pin (partial crack). Worn in numbers on the surface of the jerkin, these small metal brooches provided a measure of protection against sword cuts and, in fact, were a form of armor. See current Public Television programming for documentation of these in action. As protectors, they also held spiritual significance for the warrior. Jewelry giftboxed with certificate of authenticity.
