Double Dragon head fibula brooch

This Dragon head brooch is hand forged from surgical stainless steel. It measures approximately 3” tall and 1”wide. The pin is 3/32” in diameter. These are heavy duty enough to hold a wool cloak, but light enough to wear on a medium weight shawl. They also look great worn as a lapel pin. These are based off of the Jelling style of Norse dragon, which has been found in metalwork as well as wood carvings and rune stones.

Please note that these Brooches are hand forged so each will differ slightly from the photo. Each piece I make is unique in its own way.

Dragons and serpents
Jörmungandr also known as the Midgard Serpent was a sea serpant of Viking myth. He was the child of the god Loki and the giantess Angrboða. Legends sat that Odin tossed Jörmungandr into the great ocean that encircles Midgard (the Earth). The Dragon grew so large that he surrounded Midgard and bit his own tail. This is why the Deagon or Serpent symbolizes rebirth and the life cycle. In the Lrgends of the American Indians the Serpent represents rain, thunder, the river, and fertility. Asian Dragons symbolize wisdom and knowledge
