During the Viking Age, the animal head brooch was worn almost exclusively on the Swedish island of Gotland as part of women's costume and was widespread there from the 8th to the 11th century.
Animal headbrooches were usually used purely as practical brooches and were therefore mostly made of bronze. However, a few examples made of silver are known, some even with gilding. Interestingly, in some cases wool, thread and even coins have been found in the cavities of Gotland animal head brooches. These may have had a practical use or may have been brought there for protective magical purposes.
