According to National Museums Scotland, this specific bossed penannular brooch (X.2018.12.71.9) is attributed to an Irish / Hiberno-Norse (Irish Sea region) origin.
Cultural Breakdown of the Object
Primary Origin: Irish / Hiberno-Norse
Archaeologists classify bossed penannular brooches with raised central domes (bosses), beaded borders, and stylized animal zoomorphism as a late 9th-century Irish development.
As massive amounts of silver flowed into Ireland through trade and Viking raids during the late 800s, Irish metalsmiths adapted traditional Insular penannular designs into heavier, solid silver cast versions.
The Brooch Style vs. The Hoard Context:
While the brooch itself is Irish in design, it was deposited as part of the Galloway Hoard in southwest Scotland around AD 900.
The hoard reflects a highly interconnected, multicultural "Irish Sea zone" during the Viking Age. It contained a mix of Irish silver, Anglo-Saxon gold and cross pendants, Scandinavian silver bullion, and even silk and glass from Central Asia and Byzantium.
