Gilt bronze. As expert navigators, the constellations signified mystery and power to Vikings. Lunar pendants were worn as pectorals as well as suspended from belts, other clothing, and horse harnesses. This example is about 1 1/8" high elegantly formed as two addorsed crescent moons, each with circular tipe representing Sol the sun and Mani the moon. The larger upper is pierced with a circular hole and the lower is cusped with a loop in the cusp. This is a very complex representation of an astrological event which had supernatural significance to Vikings, now lost. Professionally refurbished with the 24karat gold overlay restored and mounted on a gilt Sterling silver neck chain for contemporary wear. Gift boxed with a certificate of authenticity.
