Our beautiful Penannular Fibula's simple shape makes it a perfect accessory for numerous possible periods and characters: Celts, Raetian, Anglo-Saxon England, Vikings, etc. This style was quite popular for centuries and kept being used in Northern and Northwestern Europe well into the High Middle Ages. It is the perfect accessory to close your cloak for your next LARP or Reenactment event. This 3.5 cm wide brooch is made from hard-wearing PURE SOLID BRASS, terminating with decorative spiral ends. The pin length is 3.8 cm. The fibula weighs about 40 grams. HOW TO USE YOUR FIBULA / BROOCH: Pierce the cloth where you want your fibula to be holding your cloak. Then pass the pin between the ends of the ring. Rotate the ring 90 degrees under the pin tip. Once you let it go, the fabric instantly presses the pin on the ring itself and keeps the fibula closed.
