those are pretty cool!
“Historical records show that the landowner turned the hoard over to the National Museum of Denmark and was paid 295 Danish krone — worth about $4,000 USD today.”
I would be happy to give the museum $10,000 USD today, maybe $15,000 if they said pretty please.
Beautiful.
The workmanship is amazing.
As a ‘Fiber Arts Maker’ (I Crochet; that just sounds FANCY) I am trying my hardest to make wearing one of your Grandma’s Brooches with your Winter Scarf a ‘thing.’
Hoping to be the next Coco Chanel or Givenchy. Wish me luck! ;)
What beautiful intricate work. Just gorgeous.
