Questions about the product Small Viking tin book Gotland - Replica

What is the diameter of the small Viking box brooch from Gotland in centimeters, and what material is this replica made of?

The small Viking box brooch from Gotland has a diameter of approximately 4.5 cm (or 4.2 cm to 4.5 cm depending on the version) and is made of bronze, which is optionally also available silver-plated or in real silver.
From which era does the historical model of this tin brooch originate, and for what purpose is this replica particularly suitable?

The surface of this box-shaped brooch from Gotland is decorated with three banded animals in the so-called Animal Style III (according to Salin), which is characteristic of the late Vendel and early Viking periods. The piece of jewelry typically served as a garment clasp on the chest to securely fasten a cloak or shawl, and features a sturdy pin on the back for this purpose.
What significance did box-shaped brooches have specifically for women's clothing on Gotland, and how does this replica differ from the original archaeological find in terms of the base plate?

On Gotland, box-shaped brooches served as a central component of women's dress, communicating wealth, social status, membership in an exclusive island culture, and kinship ties. Unlike the original archaeological find, which was typically made in two parts with a separate base plate, this replica is cast in one piece and has a closed bottom.
