Trefoil Brooches


The form of the Trefoil Brooch originated with Carolingian Sword Belt fittings, which were obtained in Raid or Trade by the Vikings. Initially, these pieces were simply converted into a Brooch, later on the style was replicated by the Viking Metal Smiths. The motifs on Viking Trefoil Brooches are usually of animals rather than plants.
By the 9th century, they spread widely through the Viking World.  Worn in Pairs at the Shoulder, Viking Trefoil Brooches were also worn singularly in the center on a Cloak or Shawl.
