Material: Bronze
Manufacturing technique: Cast, hand-finished and hand-decorated

Period: Viking Age, circa 9th–11th century AD
Dimensions: approx. 57 × 52 mm, thickness up to 8 mm

This is an open bronze bracelet of oval form, produced by casting and subsequently shaped and decorated by hand. Bracelets of this type were widely worn during the Viking Age as personal adornment by both men and women.
The bracelet is decorated with a series of small punched geometric dots distributed across the outer surface. This form of ornamentation was created using simple hand tools after casting and is characteristic of Viking Age bronze jewelry, where repetitive punched or incised motifs were commonly used to enhance otherwise plain forms.
The surface shows a well-developed natural green patina, consistent with long-term age and burial conditions. Minor surface pitting and irregularities are visible, typical of ancient cast bronze objects and indicative of authentic manufacture. The ends are slightly thickened and uneven, showing hand-finishing rather than modern machining.
Comparable Viking bronze bracelets with punched decoration are known from Northern and Eastern Europe and are generally dated to the 9th–11th century AD. The overall form, decoration, and manufacturing technique correspond well with these examples.
The bracelet is original and unrestored, retaining its authentic form and surface.
A genuine historical artifact and a good representative example of Viking Age personal jewelry. Suitable for collectors of Viking, early medieval, or archaeological objects.
