Viking Jewel

Story: This design is reworked from an ancient brooch thought to be of either Germanic or Viking origin dating back to Medieval times. I have added a few details that looked to be missing as well as a Celtic knot outer border. The colours represent different shades of amethyst stones and lapis lazuli, known to be used in jewellery of this type from this period.
