Description
Northern Europe, Viking / Norse, ca. 8th to 10th centuries CE. A gorgeous braided silver Viking bracelet with an impressive design comprised of elegantly plaited silver wires welded at the termini. The important Viking metalworking shops correspond to their great trading ports and proto-urban centers - Birka, Helgo, Sigtuna, and Lund in Sweden, Ribe, Haithabu (Hedeby), and Fyrkat in Denmark, and Kaupang and Trondheim in Norway. Silver was the principal currency of the Viking world, which stretched from Russia to northern Canada at the height of their influence. In many places, the Vikings kept silver not as coins, but as jewelry, a wearable currency form that was not subject to the authority of a monarch or mint. Size: 2.75" W x 0.35" H (7 cm x 0.9 cm); 39.9 grams
