Decorated Bronze Brooch Fragment with Intricate Motif
Location: Austria · Period: Possibly Medieval to Early Modern (uncertain) · Material: Bronze (copper alloy)
Description
Old bronze brooch fragment with intricate, interlaced decoration. The circular frame shows detailed knot-like patterns, while the pin and hinge mechanism are heavily corroded. A section of the brooch is missing, making its original shape uncertain.
Found with a metal detector in a meadow near an old farmhouse in eastern Austria.
Although the craftsmanship suggests medieval or early modern influence, the exact purpose and age remain unclear — a genuine mystery for identification.
