Era Viking Bronze Amulet com Pés de Pato - 61 mm (Sem preço de reserva)
Material: Bronze / copper alloy
Dimensions: 61 mm × 41 mm
Date: 10th – 11th century AD
Condition: Complete and intact with suspension mount, chains, and feet preserved. Corrosion and patina consistent with age.
A cast bronze amulet consisting of a ribbed suspension mount from which three articulated elements hang, each terminating in a flat triangular pendant in the form of stylised duck’s feet. The surface shows a mottled green patina with areas of earthen encrustation.
Duck’s foot amulets are a characteristic type of personal ornament of the Viking Age. Their precise meaning is still debated, but they are thought to have served as protective talismans, connected with fertility, seafaring luck, and the apotropaic power of birds. The dynamic movement of the pendants when worn enhanced their symbolic and magical function.
