Brooches from Uppåkra – Archaeological Artifact Print
This print presents a selection of intricately decorated brooches unearthed at Uppåkra, one of Scandinavia’s most significant Iron Age settlements, located in southern Sweden. The brooches, crafted in bronze, date from the Migration Period to the Vendel Period (circa 5th–8th century AD) and exemplify the skilled metalwork and artistic expression characteristic of the time.
The larger brooches, displayed at the bottom, are likely examples of oval brooches or animal-head brooches, commonly worn by women as part of their dress. These served both decorative and functional purposes, fastening garments while also signaling social status and cultural affiliation. The detailed patterns, including interlacing motifs and stylized animal forms, reflect the symbolic language of early Scandinavian art.
The smaller items at the top may represent belt fittings or additional dress accessories, similarly adorned with geometric and animal-inspired designs. Together, these objects illustrate the importance of ornamentation in personal attire during the Iron Age and offer insight into the craftsmanship and cultural identity of the Uppåkra community.
Printed on high-quality archival paper, this reproduction captures the fine detail and texture of the original artifacts, providing a visually engaging connection to the archaeological past. Suitable for educational settings, offices, or private collections with an interest in Scandinavian archaeology and history.
