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 a Viking woman's warrior's bracelet, broken in the funerary process. It is well documented that women fought alongside men and women's burials containing swords, other weapons, and armor are documented. It is about 3/4" x 1/2". It is hand-decorated by a Viking craftsman, 1000 years ago! Half is a lattice motif with the remainder as a transverse band enclosing diamonds flanked by bars and with broad bands at the end. Professionally refurbished with a silver overlay restored and mounted to an 18" Sterling silver neck chain for modern wear. It comes with a certification of authenticity, and jewelry gift boxed.
