The pattern on this plaid brooch is inspired by the 'key patterns' seen on many examples of pictish carving, such as the Aberlemno Cross, the Hilton Stone or the Cadboll stone. This is a large brooch, 90mm diameter - ideal for use with our fly plaids, or upon a shawl. The plaid brooch was traditionally a decorative weight, to keep the plaid attached to the wearer, as well as to show off the status of its wearer. Completely designed, cast and finished in Glasgow, cast in 100% lead-free pewter.
