Gilt bronze, just under 1” diameter, ring size 10. Circular section. The upper half as a spiral or roped, tapering from the center. These were worn in the hair, particularly around the ears. For Vikings, beautiful hair was a sign of wealth and status. There is some indication that they were also worn on the finger, perhaps a regional practice and likely, considering that Vikings occupied thousands of square miles for over 300 years. Professionally refurbished with the 24karat gold surface restored.
