Viking Pendant Borre-Style, Bronze

This viking animal pendant is based on an original amulet from Hedeby of the 9th century AD. Originals were found in different qualities (but mostly made from thin bronze sheet metal) in the entire skandinavian area - for example in Varby, Birka and Hedeby. It is a real mass production in the viking age, but we decided a much more valuable way. The amulet is recreated and handcrafted from massive bronze with a detailed surface. Size 35 x 30 mm.
