This vintage bronze brooch by Kalevala Koru is a powerful interpretation of an ancient motif found across Northern Europe. The interlaced double-snake design dates back to the Migration Period (5th–6th century) and has been discovered at archaeological sites in Hämeenlinna, Satakunta, Southwest Finland, and the Åland Islands, as well as in Sweden, Öland, Bornholm, and northern Germany.

The stylized snakes form a symmetrical knot around raised central discs, evoking both protection and unity—qualities often attributed to such forms in historical symbolism.

Marks: Kalevala Koru makers marks.
