Title: VIKING ERA BRONZE TWISTED BRACELETDimensions: Ca. 700–1000 AD. Northern Europe. A bracelet made for a slender wrist of twisted bronze wires. The bronze patina on this piece is beautifully blue, representing the oxidation of copper in the bronze alloy to form azurite. The Vikings - groups of people who left Scandinavia to plunder and colonize northern Europe (and who traveled as far afield as northeastern North America and the great kingdoms of the Middle East) - had a distinctive artistic tradition, although many of the metals that they had were acquired through conquest and the bronze for this bracelet likely was melted down from other bronze objects, perhaps some acquired by looting a monastery or trading in the Mediterranean. ;From a private London Collection formed in the 1970's; all items will come with a printable digital certificate of authenticity upon payment of the order;Size:7cm -2,76 in;weight:30grDescription: All items are shipped insured and tracked, payment needs to be completed within 3 days of the end of auction; we do offer combine postage, please contact us for enquiries; Uk postage cost:$ 5; US postage cost:$ 20; EU postage cost:$ 15
