Classic example of the evolution of the Viking heart after conversion to Christianity. Large, size, over ¾” plus the loop. The form drawing from both the cusped and natural both of which were popular with Vikings. Thick rounded edge. The field with a trefoil, another primary Viking form, in this instance rendered naturalistically with foliage. So, three trefoil combined to make a fourth. This is concession to Christianity by despiritualizing the Viking form into a simple representation of nature. Professionally refurbished with the pure silver surface restored on a Sterling silver 18” neck chain for contemporary wear. Gift boxed with certification of authenticity
