My new brooches arrived today and I love them!  They are based on a find from Kaupang and I cannot wait to start some new garb to go with them!

I purchased these, as well as the buckles my BF wanted, from Torfin on Etsy.  I am very pleased with the weight and quality of these items (especially for the price).

I'm sorry to say, but these brooches are not from Kaupang. They are indeed from Norway, but the exact place of finding is not known. I hope it is not critical for you.
I also have the replica made after the same brooches. I also thought that they are from Kaupang (because of the photos from the internet). But recently I made a proper research about the Kaupang brooches. The best brooches for Kaupang are after type Petersen 37 - they are the most common there.
