Northern Europe, Viking or Norse culture, ca. 8th to 11th century CE. A beautiful hammered silver bracelet with a circular band impressed with fifteen clover-shaped stamps as well as dozens of smaller hammered dots along the exterior. One terminal has a pair of spiraling loops comprising its forked arms, and the other terminal boasts a double-looped fastener. Viking men and women would wear accessories like this example as a sign of visual wealth and would have secured the band by threading a small wooden dowel through the terminal rings. A fabulous and wearable example of fine Viking jewelry! Size: 2.35" Diameter (6 cm); quality of silver: 85%; total weight: 40.9 grams.
