Sometimes I am so struck by an original piece from the Viking Age that, time is no object, I just have to make it. This fantastic cloak pin with wolf heads was unearthed in Birka in a rich warrior grave (number 561). Such a splendid Viking cloak pin takes many painstaking hours to make and must have looked magnificent on the chest of the man who first wore it. It dates from 9^th - 10^th century, showing both Borre and Jelling style elements.

It comprises of 5 intricately-cast pieces in bronze, plus 4 silver rivets, all of them mounted on a hammered silver pin with a silver ring.

Three wolf heads adorn the top of the pin. The wolf was the totem animal of the warrior in the Viking Age, a fierce beast and a loyal member of the brotherhood of the wolfpack

I do not often manage to find the time to make such a unique piece, there are not many of them in existence.

Produced in bronze and sterling silver only.
