ANCIENT VIKING HEART PENDANT NECKLACE, 866-1067 AD

Gilt bronze. Charm size, just 3/8 (0.37”) height plus the loop. Iconic cusped top heart form pierced with a heart. A heart within a heart! The heart stood for bravery, fortitude, loyalty, and integrity, all attributes of the Viking warrior. It is abundantly referenced in Viking literature. Surface textured from burial. Professionally refurbished with the 24karat gold overlay restored on an 18” gilt Sterling silver neck chain for contemporary wear. Gift boxed with certificate of authenticity. About as small as these come!
