A rare Viking Age bronze amulet pendant, likely representing a stylised serpent or snake head, an important symbolic creature in Norse mythology. The pendant features an elongated, tapering body terminating in a subtly modelled head, with a large circular suspension loop cast integrally at the top. The surface is decorated with incised linear motifs, including a clear X-shaped marking and small punched circular elements, possibly serving a symbolic or protective function. Such markings are commonly associated with apotropaic or magical meanings in Viking-era personal adornment. The pendant retains a deep green and brown archaeological patina, with encrustation and corrosion consistent with long-term burial. The overall form, material, and decorative language align well with Viking Age amulets from Northern Europe, dating approximately to the 9th–11th century AD. Amulets of this type were worn for protection, identity, or spiritual significance and are highly sought after by collectors of Norse and early medieval artefacts.
