Époque Viking Bronze pendentif zoomorphe - 55 mm (Sans Prix de Réserve)
Hollow cast bronze belt pendant, in the “Permian animal style”. The pendant takes a zoomorphic form – possibly in the shape of bird – and features applied coils at its neck and lower edge. Its head is raised, and its neck features a pronounced comb.
There is a central suspension loop. We also see two suspension loops on the front edge, which are connected to hollow bell shaped pendants by double links.
This pendant seems to fit into the Permian animal style, found throughout Western Russia in the Viking Era. Birds seem to have been of great significance in this culture, with their heads often serving as protective features and their bodice formed into rustling, jangling artifacts like this one. We believe that items like this one were hung from hunting belts and later buried with their owners.
