Jenny Murray our Curator of Collections, shares the fascinating story of a Viking Age brooch that was found in Fetlar in 2002. Channel 4's Time Team discovered it during their excavations of a mound which to their surprise uncovered the burial site of a Viking woman of high status.
It’s a truly incredible piece of jewellery and an incredible survivor. This piece is currently in storage, but that gives us an opportunity to take an even closer look. Visit the Shetland Museum and Archives to learn more about our Norse heritage and view the impressive collection of Viking jewellery on display.
