Item Details
Description
Ca. 900-1100 AD. Viking Age. A large bronze amulet with a cylindrical body and three loops to the lower edge, each with a figure-of-eight coiled loop and webbed-foot pendant. Jewellery was an important part of the Viking culture, for men and women alike. Contrary to modern ideas of the Vikings, historical chroniclers like the English monk John of Wallingford recorded that the Vikings took great interest in their physical appearance. Moreover, jewellery was used as a status indicator, so precious materials and elaborate designs were favoured. To find out more about the Vikings and their art, see Graham-Campbell, J. (2013). Viking Art. London: Thames and Hudson Ltd. Size: L:65mm / W:30mm ; 28.5g. Provenance: Obtained on the London art market in the early 2000s; formerly from the collection of an English Family, by descents from the 1970s.
