Brooch with Faces
While i was drawing this i assumed the brooch was from around the viking age due to the style, but according to the description it's from after the Reformation ÂŻ\_(ă)_/ÂŻ
No matter when it's from i just love the style and expressions of all these faces.

Viking Silver Treasure Hoard Discovered in Norway
46 pieces of silver from the Viking age were recently discovered in a field in mid-Norway. âItâs an exceptional find,â says archaeologist.
âItâs been many years since such a large Viking treasure was found in Norway,â archaeologist Birgit Maixner, from NTNU Vitenskapsmuseet, says in a press release from NTNU.
Save for two intact finger rings, the silver treasure consists of fragments. Arab coins, a braided neck ring, arm rings and necklaces â all of them cut in pieces.
âThis find is from a time when pieces of silver would be weighed and used for payment,â Maixner says.
This economic system was used in the transition between bartering with goods to the money economy, the archaeologist explains.
While coins were in use on the Continent from around 550, people in the Nordic region mainly bartered, until the end of the 800s when the weight economy was established.
Most of the pieces weigh less than one gram, which suggests that they have been used repeatedly for payment.
A fine day for a Viking find
And here the treasure lay, until one day in December 2021, when the weather was finally nice, and Pawel Bednarski decided to bring his metal detector out to do a bit of searching around a field.
âThe first thing I found was a small ring,â Bednarski says in the press release.
He didnât think much of the ring. But then he found another one, and a piece of an armring, and so on. Finally he had dug out a pile of silver, hidden beneath no more than 2-7 centimetres of soil.
âIt wasnât until I got home and rinsed the pieces under water that I understood that this was an exciting find,â says Bednarski.
He handed the find over to the municipal archaeologists, who confirmed that this was very interesting indeed, and most likely from the Viking Age.
Carefully cut into pieces
The find includes an almost intact bracelet â cut into eight pieces. Archaeologists believe these types of bracelets were developed in Denmark in the 800s.
The Arabic coins are older than what is usual in a Viking find, four of them have been dated to the end of the 700s and into the 800s.
These features are more common for treasure finds from Denmark than Norway, archaeologist Maixner explains. Based on this she believes the treasure is from around 900 AD.
Itâs more common to find fragments of several different items in these sorts of Viking treasures. In this case, however, the find contains several pieces of the same item â such as the carefully cut bracelet.
âWe can imagine that the owner had prepared to trade by cutting the silver into appropriately weighted pieces,â Maixner says.
âThe fact that this person had access to an entire broadbanded bracelet, which was primarily a Danish item, might suggest that the owner had been to Denmark before travelling to this area in mid-Norway,â Maixner says.
Just over half a cow
Previous finds in the same area, such as equipment used to weigh silver, suggest that trading was taking place here.
And using pieces of silver to pay clearly had its advantages. If you wanted to barter for a cow, you needed to have for instance a number of sheep to make the deal. Carefully weighted pieces of silver was much easier to handle and travel with, and allowed the owner to buy goods whenever it suited.
So what could this Viking have bought with these 46 silver pieces â that weigh 42 grams in total?
Based on information from Gulatingsloven, the Gulating Law, about the price of cows, Maixner calculates that the money would fetch around 0,6 cows.
The value of the treasure was considerable, particularly for an individual, Maixner says, noting that a medium sized farm might have around five cows.
We can only speculate on why the treasure was hidden, not to be found for more than 1.000 years.
Such deposits are sometimes interpreted as offerings to the Gods. Or perhaps a Viking arriving from Denmark hid his treasure to keep it safe, and was somehow prevented from returning to fetch it.

Unusual Viking Grave Includes Nested Boats Buried 100 Years Apart

Unusual Viking Grave Includes Nested Boats Buried 100 Years Apart
Last month, archaeologists excavating the Skeiet Viking farm in VinjeĂžra, Norway, unearthed an unexpected burial: namely, a boat containing the remains of a woman nested inside of a second boat occupied by the body of a man laid to rest some 100 years earlier.
As researchers from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) reported in a recent announcement detailing the find, the Viking woman died during the latter half of the 9th century A.D. Her remains were buried in a 23- to 26-foot-long boat filled with grave goods including the head of a cow, two pairs of scissors, weaving tools and a pearl necklace. Two large shell-shaped brooches and a crucifix-shaped brooch made from a decorative Irish harness fitting were pinned on the womanâs dress.
The wood used to build the boats has rotted away, but archaeologists were able to gauge the vesselsâ one-time positioning based on a small piece of keel from the smaller boat and rivets from both. Evidence found at the site suggests the graveâs original inhabitantâa Viking male buried alongside a spear, a shield and a single-edged sword dating to the 8th century Merovingian periodâwas carefully excavated before the small boat was placed inside.

âWe know of several double burials in boat graves,â Raymond Sauvage, an archaeologist at the NTNU University Museum who oversaw the work, tells Newsweekâs Aristos Georgiou. âHowever, in those cases we are dealing with twoâor moreâpersons buried in the same boat. We also know of burial mounds containing several, parallel boat graves.â
The newly discovered arrangement âis essentially an unknown phenomenon,â according to Sauvage.
An obvious question raised by the find is why the two individuals were buried together. Unfortunately, the researchers say it will be difficult to determine if the man and woman were related. The soil present at the dig site is poorly suited for preserving bone, so the only remains recovered were small fragments of the womanâs skull. The team plans on extracting DNA from the bones, as well as conducting isotope analysis to discover where the woman was born and what her diet was like.
Sauvage posits that the man and woman were somehow related, as the nested burial was intentional and must have required planning.
âFamily was very important in Viking Age society, both to mark status and power and to consolidate property rights,â he says in a statement. âThe first legislation on allodial rights in the Middle Ages said you had to prove that your family had owned the land for five generations. If there was any doubt about the property rights, you had to be able to trace your family to ⊠burial mounds and paganism.â
An Irish brooch pinned to the womanâs dress was likely seized during a Viking raid.
(Raymond Sauvage, NTNU Vitenskapsmuseet)
The archaeologist adds, âAgainst this backdrop, itâs reasonable to think that the two were buried together to mark the familyâs ownership to the farm, in a society that for the most part didnât write things down.â
Sauvage tells Georgiou that the archaeologists can infer information on the deceasedâs lives from the contents of their graves. Because the man was buried with a full array of weapons, he was likely a free man who owned his land. The rich jewelry buried with the woman, meanwhile, indicates she was married, played an important role in her community and even managed the household based at the farm. The Irish brooch found on her dress indicates her family was well-connected enough to participate in and benefit from Viking raids.
The team found the nested boats at the edge of the biggest mound in a larger burial ground. Previously, archaeologists excavating the site discovered a piece of a womanâs brooch dating to the early Merovingian age.
âThe burial mound must naturally be older than the oldest boat grave, meaning early Merovingian age,â says Sauvage in the statement. âThis is a fascinating era in Scandinavian history, from which there are few archaeological findings.â

Brooch illustration
one of two fragments of Brooch/Fibula set: T6575 (Vitenskapsmuseet)
Thin and made of bronze, found in Overhalla, TrĂžndelag.
the program crashed while i was drawing this one so we're getting a simple sketch. It happened just before i was about to give up anyway, because i couldn't figure out the design. This one was just too damaged and the design was too shallow to get a good look.
might post more simple sketch versions of others <3
