One of the two Viking brooches found at the burial site near Cumwhitton in north Cumbria. The brooches are made from a copper alloy. Also found in the same grave was a wooden box which may contain weaving equipment.

Thought I might shift gears and and give you a detailed photo of some Viking jewelry. This little beauty is not in my collection unfortunately but you can find more details and other photos where I got this one. Pictures like these can be found all over the internet, so I know I am not providing anyone something that they could not get on their own and it is not original research, but hopefully, I can provide people with a spot to jump start their own searches.
