FINE VIKING SORCERESS’S PENDANT NECKLACE. 10th-11th CENTURY AD

$1,975.00
Over 1 1/2” height plus the suspension loop. Triangular form  pierced with symmetrical buttresses supporting a segmented circle, probably representing Sol the sun. The base suspended with five well delineated duck’s feet. A burial at Viden, Denmark contained the body of a woman of wealth and status buried with henbane seeds, which have hallucinogenic properties, and a wand as well as other objects. From these, archeologists concluded that she was a seeress or sorceress. The grave contained a necklace hung with three duck’s feet pendants very similar to this. Among Vikings, sorcery was practiced by women only. It was specifically considered to be unmanly. Professionally refurbished with the silver surface restored, on a Sterling silver 18” neck chain, suitable for modern wear. Jewelry gift boxed with certificate of authenticity.
