===Birka Type V Silver sheet - filigree===
Filigree brooches are made thus: the front plate was cut to shape and relief decoration imprinted by a bronze die. Sometimes a plain back-plate was affixed. Finally filigree and granules were soldered to the front plate raised features. (ROESDAHL 1982, p.105)<br>
‘Patrices’ were used to achieve the basic convex shape. Made of bronze with raised relief. The silver sheet was placed on a yielding base and the Patrice hammered into it. (ROESDAHL and WILSON 1992, p.254 cat.105,106)<br>
