Vikings were highly skilled metallurgists, and as a result, breaking metal had supernatural significance for them. Breaking ringjarn (iron rings) as shown on the Larbro Stone, was thought to destroy the spirits of enemies. Similarly, Viking weapons and accouterments were broken for burial with their owners. This is the broken end of a fine woman Viking warrior's bronze bracelet. It is about 3/4” x 3 1/6” (0.72” x 0.19”). It is hand-decorated in a high relief addorsed roped foliate motif, by a Viking craftsman, 1000 years ago! It has been professionally refurbished with a 24karat gold overlay restored and mounted to an 18” gilt Sterling silver neck chain for modern wear. It comes with a certification of authenticity, and a jewelry gift box.
