SPIRAL BROOCH
This high domed bronze brooch is carved with a deep relief spiral design. Such spiral designs were used among the early Picts and Celts. They appear not only in jewelry, but also carved into stones, such as those at the entrance to Newgrange in Ireland. This brooch has a stainless steel pin and clasp and is suitable as a brooch or to close a light weight cloak.
It is 2 inches across and 3/4 inch deep.
