EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Viking pewter disc-brooch from the 10th century, discovered in York. Adorned with intricate details in the Jellinge style, this brooch features a unique design of a backwards-facing quadruped. The creature's tongue extends and elegantly interlaces with its body and rear leg, creating an ornate and mesmerizing effect. Similar brooches have been found in Norway, but it is believed that this particular piece was crafted right here in York. Housed at the prestigious York Museum, this artifact offers us a glimpse into the rich history of both England and Scandinavia during this period. The vibrant colors captured in this photograph bring out the beauty of the brooch's craftsmanship. Its position on display highlights its significance as a valuable piece of jewelry worn by Vikings centuries ago. As we admire this stunning object, we are transported back to the 10th century when Vikings roamed these lands. It serves as a reminder of their presence and influence throughout Yorkshire county and beyond. Mike Dixon skillfully photographed this artifact for posterity under CM Dixon's direction. With great attention to detail, he has immortalized every aspect of this backward-facing masterpiece – from its delicate engravings to its exquisite shape. Let us cherish such artifacts that connect us to our past and celebrate our shared heritage across cultures and time periods.
