SUPERB VIKING LUNAR PENDANT NECKLACE, 9TH-10TH CENTURY AD

$415.00

Slightly under 1” (0.94”) height. Bronze, cast, and chased in detail as the crescent moon with baluster tips representing Sol the sun and Mani the moon. Raised borders enclosing a saw tooth motif. Above, a circle enclosing a conical cross. That Christian motif was widely used by Vikings before their conversion in the late 11th century. Undoubtedly of astrological significance, now lost. Viking worship involved the heavenly bodies on which they relied for guidance when sailing. Fine quality. Excellent condition with the 24karat gold overlay restored and mounted on an 18” modern gilt silver neck chain for contemporary wear. Jewelry gift boxed with a certificate of authenticity.
