MUSEUM COMISSIONS AND JEWELRY
|
|
The brooches and other jewellery displayed on this page are all
one-of-a-kind objects.They have been made for the needs of experimental
archeology projects or to be given as presents. Only few have been sold
commercially.
The pictures on this page are meant to present a different, "gentler"
side of bladesmiths work. The museum projects are made in co-operation with researchers of the
field, with an accurate and functional reconstruction as a goal.
