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?
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... 🤔

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.
