MASSIVE VIKING LUNAR AMULET

Description

Silvered bronze, over 2 ¼” (2.28”) width of heavy crescent form. As expert navigators, the constellations signified mystery and power to Vikings. The Moon was personified as Mani, brother to Sol the Sun, and is abundantly represented in Norse literature. Lunar pendants were worn as pectorals as well as suspended from belts, other clothing, and horse harnesses. This example is professionally refurbished with the pure silver overlay restored, on an 18” modern Sterling silver mounted polished leather neck cord and gift boxed with a certificate of authenticity.
