VIKING HEART PENDANT NECKLACE, C.950-1050 AD

Just over 1” (1.07”) height plus the suspension loop. The Viking heart in its fully developed form with a cusp top formed by the terminals of the broad borders which extend as scrolls on the field, above a fleur-de-lys. Low rounded section, produced by the open face mold technique. The heart stood for bravery, fortitude, loyalty, integrity, all attributes of the Viking warrior. It is abundantly referenced in Viking literature. Professionally refurbished with the silver overlay restored on an 18” Sterling silver neck chain for contemporary wear. Jewelry gift boxed with certificate of authenticity.
