Item Details
Description
Ring size 11. The oval bezel is just over 1 1/2” in length. Broad overlapping prong band allowing for some adjustment. The large oval bezel with recessed border and stipple line flanked broad transverse medial. Two further panels pelleted borders and a stippled field surrounding two nubs with stipple bases, representing Sol the Sun, and Mani the moon. As expert navigators, Vikings attached spiritual significance to the celestial bodies of which the Sun and moon were the cardinal ones. Unusually made as a thick plate with the decoration incised. These usually are thin, near foil thickness with the decoration embossed and easily wear with small holes appearing. All the decoration crisp and uniform. Professionally refurbished with the 24karat gold overlay restored for contemporary wear. Gift boxed with certification of authenticity. Genuine example, worn by a Viking 1000 years ago! Museum-worthy and an absolute show-stopper!
