Questions about the product Viking trefoil brooch Värnamo - bronze replica

What material is the replica of the Viking cloverleaf brooch Värnamo made of, and where on a woman's dress was it typically worn in the Viking Age?

The replica is made of bronze. In the Viking Age, the trefoil brooch was usually worn centrally on the chest of women's clothing to fasten a garment or cloak.
Which historical finds served as a model for the design of the Viking cloverleaf brooch Värnamo, and what significance did such brooches have as status symbols in the Viking Age?

The three rounded arms of the trefoil brooch served primarily as a functional and aesthetic element of women's clothing during the Viking Age, used to fasten cloaks or necklines, while simultaneously acting as symbols of social status and wealth. Regional variations in ornamentation stemmed from the use of different Norse art styles, such as the Borre, Jelling, or Urnes styles, characterized by distinctive motifs like raptors, intertwined knot patterns, or geometric ornaments.
What function did the Värnamo cloverleaf fibula originally serve as a garment clasp, and what design features characterize this specific Viking replica?

The Värnamo trefoil fibula originally served as a garment clasp, traditionally worn in the center of the chest to fasten a cloak or the outer garment of a woman's costume. This specific Viking replica is a detailed reproduction of the historical find from Småland, featuring a bold relief, a sturdy pin, and a loop on the back for a safety chain.
What symbolic meaning do the three rounded arms of the trefoil brooch have in Norse mythology, and how did the regional decorative styles differ within Scandinavia?

The three rounded arms of the trefoil fibula are often linked in scholarship to the sacred number three of Norse mythology, reflecting concepts such as the three Norns (Urd, Verdandi, Skuld) or the connection between the realms of earth, sky, and underworld. Originally developed from Carolingian sword belt distributors, various regional decorative styles evolved in Scandinavia: while Danish finds often exhibit stricter, geometric patterns or the Jelling style, pieces from Swedish trading centers like Birka are frequently characterized by complex animal ornamentation in the Borre style with the typical "prey beasts."
