Brooch from SöSdala, Skåne – Archaeological Artifact Print
This print features an elaborately decorated brooch from SöSdala in Skåne, southern Sweden, dating to the Migration Period (circa 5th–6th century AD). The brooch is a striking example of early Scandinavian craftsmanship, showcasing both intricate metalworking techniques and symbolic design elements characteristic of high-status dress accessories from this era.
Constructed from gilded bronze with silver inlays, the brooch is adorned with geometric patterns and stylized animal motifs, including what appear to be bird heads flanking the upper portion. Such designs reflect the rich artistic tradition of the time, blending influences from continental Europe with local Scandinavian styles. Brooches like this were not only functional items for fastening garments but also powerful markers of identity, wealth, and social rank.
The SöSdala site is renowned for its exceptional finds of equestrian equipment and other high-status objects, illustrating the connections between Scandinavian elites and wider European cultural and trade networks during the Migration Period.
Printed on high-quality archival paper, this reproduction faithfully presents the fine details and craftsmanship of the original artifact. Suitable for educational environments, offices, or private collections, the print offers a visual connection to the material culture and beliefs of Iron Age Scandinavia.
