Mythological Zoomorphic S-Shaped Amulet with Dragon Heads of Fafnir
A zoomorphic pendant designed in the form of an S-shaped creature terminating in stylized dragon heads at both ends; the open structure of the body allows a suspension cord to pass through. The curving composition and animal-headed terminals reflect the Scandinavian animal style characterized by intertwined and flowing zoomorphic motifs common in Viking Age ornamentation. Such serpent or dragon imagery is frequently associated in Norse mythology with the legendary dragon Fafnir, and is interpreted as a symbolic motif connected with power and protective qualities.
