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 in Gotland Sweden, 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 Viking warrior's bronze bracelet. It is about ½” x 1/2" and decorated with panels of featherwork crosses. It has been professionally refurbished with a 24karat gold overlay and mounted to a gilt Sterling silver neck chain for modern wear. It comes with a certification of authenticity and is gift boxed.
