ENGLISH HEART PENDANT NECKLACE C.1100-1400 AD

Gilt bronze, 1 3/8” (1.39”) height formed as a heart below a four dot cluster. Both elements are drawn from heritage, the heart replicating the Viking heart and the matrix, an iconic Anglo-Saxon symbol. Post Norman conquest, these symbols embody the heritage of the wearer, evidently a blending of the two cultures, in centuries past. Professionally refurbished with the 24karat gold surface restored, on an 18” gilt silver neck chain for modern wear. Jewelry gift boxed with certificate of authenticity.
