Made in Scotland, this plaid brooch is meant to evoke various stands of Celtic art. This is a large brooch, 104mm long and 85mm wide- ideal for use with fly plaids, or upon a shawl.

Brooches with large movable central pins were near universal as garment fasteners in the Iron Age. although the design was heartily adobted and elaborated by the peoples of Scotland and Ireland in the centuries between 700 and 900AD.

This plaid brooch was traditionally a decorative weight, to keep the plaid attached to the wearer, as well as to show off the status of its wearer.
