Item Details
Description
Northern Europe, Viking / Norse culture, ca. 800 to 1100 CE. A collection of eight gorgeous bronze buttons. Two buttons have pale-yellow enameled inlays with dark-brown patina; one button has similar white enamel inlays, but the bronze has a pistachio-hued patina. Four buttons have both white and pale blue enameled inlays, with the button portion having either a light- or dark-brown patina. The last button has a light-brown patina; however, the enamel inlays alternate between white with black dots and black with gold dots. Seven of eight buttons have an integral suspension loop; one has an applied pinched bronze loop, and all are lovely examples of how fashion was defined in ancient Viking culture! Size of largest (all fairly similar in size): 0.425" H (1.1 cm).
