Description from the seller
Beautiful bronze Viking bracelet. Richly decorated.
Shipping only to countries within the European Union.
A Viking bracelet was a piece of jewelry worn by men and women in Viking Age Scandinavia, roughly from the 7th to the 10th century. It was a metal band worn around the upper arm or wrist, usually made from silver or gold, but sometimes also from other materials such as bronze or iron.
The Viking bracelet was not only a decorative piece but also served symbolic and practical purposes. It was often given as a gift or worn to display social status, wealth, and power. It was also believed to possess protective and magical properties, and was sometimes inscribed with runes or other symbols for this purpose.
The designs of Viking bracelets were diverse and varied, reflecting the different regions and cultures within Viking society. Some bracelets were simple and plain, while others were intricately decorated with animal or geometric motifs, knotwork, or mythological creatures.
