Viking Brooche with needle

3D Model

This is a brooch from the Viking Age. The original brooch is a scanned artifact from the University of Tromsø (UiT). You can find the original model by searching for the museum number TS.754. The digital representation is also available for viewing at the following link: https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/oval-brooch-ts754-1f4ffbc3437141719c47c5654df784e0.

In the original scan, the brooch is missing its needle and needle cap. Using Blender, I have modified the model to include a functional needle, which can be gently pressed into the back, allowing the brooch to be worn.

Please feel free to explore the brooch, and I welcome any comments regarding the design or constructive feedback for further improvements.
