This group of brooches contains all brooches with facial- , animal- or figurine motives. Nowadays the name applies to most of the brooches from the west part of Norway (vestlandssøljene). The symbolism in these brooches can be traced back to before Christianity, although the symbols had a certain popularity in the catholic period. The motives used at this time were of Virgin Mary, Jesus or protective mythological creatures.
