Gaelic broche Ballyspellan, verzilverd brons Romeinse & Keltische fibulae This tabard can be wornThis Gaelic brooch is a replica of a 9th century Irish original excavated in Ballyspellan near Kilkenny.

Sometimes the pins were so extraordinarily long that the Old Irish laws decided that a person who accidentally injured someone else with the pin of his brooch, should pay a fine.
