Longobard bird brooch from the Merovingian period.

Authentic replica of an S-shaped Longobard bird brooch with red cloisonné, after a historical find from the Merovingian period.

This Longobard bird brooch dates to the late 5th to 6th century AD and was made after an early medieval find from the Merovingian period, which comes from a private collection. The model for this Lombard bird brooch was a silver-gilt S-shaped brooch with a stylised bird's head at both ends and a row of garnet inlays in cloisonné technique on a waffle ground. Our replica has cell inlays made of red glass enamel instead of the original Almandine cloisonné.

Dimensions of the Longobard bird brooch: 3.7 x 3.2 cm.

There is a sturdy pin with a spiral construction on the back.
