This type of brooch belongs to the typologies of the omega brooches. It was probably used by Ugro-Finnic people to fasten the shirt at the neck or to attach other lighter garments. These brooches evolved to become very elaborate, with dangling springs from the edges, and were often worn in pairs, destined to female garments. In this late Viking period their coins demonstrated Russian and Eastern Roman influences in their art and jewellery. -
