A beautiful repousse handcrafted copper art of the “The Celtic Brooch ” Have you ever wondered what inspired the design of famous works such as the Tara brooch? While the torc was probably the most honoured form of adornment amongst the Celts, the brooch was the most popular. This popularity is due to the fact that they were worn by both men and women and served the practical purpose of fastening cloaks and other clothing items. These brooches replaced straight pins to fasten clothing and were the early version of the safety pin we still use today. They were known as fibula brooches, possibly because their long shape resembled the shape of a fibula bone. It is thought early Mycenaean pins influenced the Celts; however, the Celts began to develop and explore this design creating their unique version. First, they made the brooch longer for practical and decorative purposes; now, the brooch could hold more fabric.
