This is such a beautiful and interesting piece. Thanks for sharing this, I have never seen this before. I live in Scotland and this brooch instantly reminded me of the Hunterston Brooch that was found in Ayrshire in South West Scotland and is kept in Edinburgh now. The designs of both brooches look like they could have been crafted by the same Smith they are so similar. The fact the Hunterston Brooch has viking ruins scratched into the back, does make me wonder if the both brooches originated from the same area in Ireland and the one that ended up in Scotland was stolen by the vikings. The carved ruins state that the Hunterston brooch belong to a devotee of Brigid. I wonder if the Tara Brooch or the location it was found, could have a connection with Brigid too?
Anthony it's the ring and rod of Herne, Cernunnos, Orion, the snake is Eridanus biting his knee. It is very related to the old high kings, the representatives of Orion on the hill of Pleiades - Tara
@@luluadapa5222 yeah exactly, the torc that Egyptian/Irish/Norse kings and warriors wore, that was bronze or brass. The red metal 🙏🏻. Look up Bernards loop, you'll see it straight away
@Dankness-e6i I will!! Thank you! I'm an ancient jewellery nerd, so thanks for the pointer. Is there anything else of interest to point me to? Much appreciated, I like a good rabbit hole 💜🙏
@@luluadapa5222 hahaha yeah, look up the Orion nebula, the eagle nebula, the Carina nebula, Pleiades. You'll begin to see everything, from every culture through all history, every religion and movie, everything - is visible in the stars. Thanos sits in the Carina nebula, above Orion, he's Baal, the god of creation, Pleiades is the arrow that points directly at him, Orion is below, chasing Pleiades, he's the God of the sun, the god of winter. The horse head nebula is the white horse, between his legs. The eagle nebula is beside the tip of Pleiades, within Serpens the snake, look up the Vatican stage, you'll see it. It's Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent wrapping around the pyramid, Pleiades. I can go on for days and days 🤣🙏🏻
If made in early medieval times, it would have been a real artifact, granting its wearer protection, or enhanced charisma, or skill in arts... And if made as a "replica", a millenia later, this would still be a masterpiece of a group of people working on filigree work and gems.... Wearing a cloak and penannular brooches myself on a regular basis: how can anybody wear this monstrous piece to pin a cloak at their right shoulder? I can see no extra needle in the back, and it doesnt work like a "normal" brooch should... 🤔

And it looks like a necklace, to me.
The "chain" is a viking weave, made with a "dolly".
Absolutely breathtaking!

@@luluadapa5222 lol I tried to reply but it got taken down, this is actually a very very dark subject and RUclips knows it 🤣🤣🤣 this is freemasonry
A beautiful piece of craftsmanship, but no one can tell us how these artifacts are made. There probably is, nt a jeweller today who could make this.
Have you changed days I love Oscar wild i have constants photo with childv someone ruined my photo of Oscar wild

Can it be confirmed it was made in ireland , how old - is it medieval , did ireland hv the craftsmen to do it ..... asking for a friend 😊
Do you know nothing of the Golden Age in Ireland ? Why do you think the Viking race frequented monastic settlements.. ....???
