The last weekend, we had the chance to participate Veligrad, the best Great Moravian festival in the Czech Republic. We met a lot of good friends and decided for a fruitful cooperation. This video is the result of it.

In the short footage, you can see how a typical Slavic piece of jewell, lunulae, is born. It was made of brass wire, maybe there were some fragments of silver. Viking Age bronze - rather copper alloy, is rather close to what we understand as brass, as can be read here

During the process, the crucible was broken, and we were forced to use a modern one. In the future, we will definitely have more of them. After the casting of the lunulae pendant, we also casted a small silver hammer pendant.
