Wikingerzeit Mythologisch zoomorphes S-förmiges Amulett mit Drachenköpfen des Fafnirs (Ohne mindestpreis)

A piece of the past, made to be worn Mythological Zoomorphic S-Shaped Amulet with Dragon Heads of Fafnir A zoomorphic pendant designed in the form of an S-shaped creature terminating in stylized dragon heads at both ends; the open structure of the body allows a suspension cord to pass through. The curving composition and animal-headed terminals reflect the Scandinavian animal style characterized by intertwined and flowing zoomorphic motifs common in Viking Age ornamentation. Such serpent or dragon imagery is frequently associated in Norse mythology with the legendary dragon Fafnir, and is interpreted as a symbolic motif connected with power and protective qualities. Object Type: Pendant / amulet Cultural Attribution: Viking culture Period: Viking Age, ca. 9th–11th century AD Material: Copper-based metal alloy (likely bronze) Dimensions: Height: 27.4 mm Width: 14.7 mm Weight: 3.07 g Information The offered object was acquired in 2026 through an auction associated with A.N Auction House in Germany and was transferred to us in 2026 by its previous owner, N.A., based in the Netherlands The object has been documented using high-resolution equipment; no intervention has been made to its form or structural integrity, and only limited color-balance adjustment has been applied. Upon request, museum-standard technical photographs may be provided during the auction; if requested prior to shipment, an expert report and a signed ownership document issued in the buyer’s name can be supplied in PDF format within 3–5 business days Statements regarding dating, function, symbolic interpretation, and material identification represent high-probability academic assessments based on typological comparisons, parallels in museum collections, and expert opinion; definitive conclusions require advanced laboratory analysis and fall outside the scope of the platform’s sales process. Prospective buyers are advised to evaluate the images in conjunction with the stated measurements, as high-resolution photography may influence perceived scale.
