For Vikings, breaking metal had supernatural significance. Breaking ringjarn (iron rings) as shown on the Larbro Stone, was thought to destroy the spirits of enemies. Similarly, Viking weapons and accouterments were broken for burial with their owners. Viking women warriors fighting alongside men are well documented and they were given warrior’s burials. This is the broken end of a fine Viking woman warrior's bronze bracelet. It is about ¼” x5/8”. It was hand-decorated by a Viking craftsman, 1000 years ago! The design is obscured by age degradation. It has been professionally refurbished with a 24karat gold overlay restored and mounted on an 18” gilt Sterling silver neck chain for modern wear. It comes with a certification of authenticity, and is jewelry gift boxed.
