Ruth Garrido Vila

Original Viking Bronze Bracelet (8th–11th Century)

Material:

The bracelet is made of bronze, a durable alloy of copper and tin, which was a key material for everyday jewelry in the Early Middle Ages.

Condition and Photos Before/After:

The item is in its authentic, post-excavation state. The listing includes photos showing the bracelet before and after light, careful cleaning. The metal is covered with a thick, natural patina in earthy green and brown tones.

Design and Structure:

This is an open-cuff bracelet made from a flat metal band. The ends do not meet, which allowed for adjusting the size to fit the wrist.

Type and Style:

This ornament is completely typical for the Vikings, featuring a simple and raw form that perfectly reflects the Scandinavian aesthetic of that period.

Decoration Technique:

The pattern on the bronze surface was applied by hand using a special metal punch, which was struck with a hammer to stamp geometric motifs into the metal.

Pattern Characteristics:

The decoration is based on the traditional dot-in-ring motif arranged symmetrically: four rings in the center, three rings on the left and right sides, and two rings at the very ends of the band.

Origin and Dating:

The ornament dates back to the Viking Age, between the 8th and 11th centuries AD, serving as a classic example of craftsmanship from the Baltic Sea region.

Historical Function:

This type of jewelry was not only an everyday ornament and a status symbol, but could also serve as currency based on bullion weight when needed.

Guarantee and Documentation:

The item comes with a full certificate of authenticity, signed by an anthropologist and an independent expert in archaeology and excavations of artifacts from this era.

Provenance: Private collection (F.B) United States.
