Viking Era Bronze Very Rare Ring's Plate with an Image of a vulture, Symbolizing death holding a branch. "Vulture's Path" as a Kenning for Air: The term "vulture's path" is believed to be a kenning (a poetic metaphor) for the sky or air. Some interpretations connect the vulture to Loki, as a creature that feasts on the dead and decaying, similar to how Loki takes the form of a falcon. Vultures were generally considered symbols of death, rebirth, purification, and transformation. As a bezel, absolutely intact with a very clear and defined image. Very Rare. Diameter: 20 mm.
