Irish Cloak Fastener Brooch
In Celtic
tradition dragons are the symbols for the positive forces in the
world. Since the Dragon lives in the earth, has fish scales, wings and
breaths fire it has the power of all the four elements.
The Celts brought their own unique
vision of beauty to the world. This brooch is one of the finest
examples of Irish work in our collection.
This half scale replica is of an 8th
century Cloak Fastener from the National Museum of Ireland,
Dublin. It’s styling is unique to Ireland, only a handful of
this type are known. It sports not only dragons, but triple
spirals as well.
Endless compliments will greet you
when you wear this, our most unusual replica from the Celtic past.
