Item Details
Description
Northern Europe, Viking peoples, ca. 1000 BCE. This hairpiece is made of a thick bronze wire, with the ends pinched and pierced. These ends extend to a round ring, flattened with a hammer, and decorated with stamped concentric circle designs. A pin is attached to the flattened portion with a loop and moves freely around the length of the ring. Metal objects, especially those made of precious metal like bronze, were treasured in the Viking period; this particular piece, used for an elaborate woman's coiffure, may have been passed through a family. Size: 6.3" L x 2.95" W (16 cm x 7.5 cm)

Provenance: Ex-Private LA County collection formed over the period between 1980 and 2000.
