This box-shaped brooch is a fascinating artifact. It’s made of bronze, silver, and is gilded. This brooch was found in Austris, Tingstäde, Gotland, Sweden.
In the center of the brooch, an animal head is depicted, and the end-knobs are shaped as animal heads as well. This brooch was found in the tomb of a Norse woman, thought to be a shaman. She was found dressed in fine blue and red clothes adorned with gold thread, indicating her high status, possibly even royal.
The box brooch from Gotland was used as a container for “white lead,” a white dye that has been used in medicine for more than 2000 years. The brooch was fastened with a pin on the bottom just like any other brooch. They were used exclusively by women on the island of Gotland to hold together a cloak or a shawl.
