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. Just under 1 1/8" (1.12") diameter with rounded faces. Surface textured from burial. Professionally refurbished with the silver overlay restored, on an 18" Sterling silver neck chain for contemporary wear. Jewelry gift boxed with a certificate of authenticity.
