Item Details
Description
ca. 900–1100 AD. Viking Age. The armring on the right-hand side has a coiled decoration and round terminals; the armring on the left-hand side has a smooth surface and rectangular terminals. In Viking society, arm rings and bracelets were not just decorative, but also served to mark bonds of loyalty between a lord and his followers in a culture where honour was a matter of life and death. Such items were also given to young men to mark their coming of age and bracelets of precious metals were also used as currency in a time before the widespread availability of coinage. Good condition, fully wearable.Provenance: Obtained from a B.F; previously in a collection formed in the 1980s on the UK art market.Size: L:Set of 2; 110mm / W:120mm ; 186g
