Description from the seller
Bronze Viking Longship
Striking bronze model of a Viking longship with dragon-head prow and stern, richly detailed with a row of gold-plated shields along the hull. Strong sculptural presence and authentic Norse aesthetic. Heavy quality piece with beautiful aged patina to the bronze, giving it real character and depth.

Decorative models like this reflect the enduring fascination with Viking mythology and Norse maritime heritage in European decorative arts.
