Regular price $2,350.00 Sale

A compound amulet just under 1 ¾” (1.70”) including the hinged suspension loop. In five pieces. Pierced concave body with a diamond shaped bezel mounting a blue stone (replaced). The bottom suspended with three finely delineated duck’s feet on circular suspensions. A burial at Viden, Denmark contained the body of a woman of wealth and status buried with henbane seeds, which have hallucinogenic properties, and a wand as well as other objects. From these, archeologists concluded that she was a seeress or sorceress. The grave contained a necklace hung with three duck’s feet pendants very similar to this. Professionally refurbished with the 24karat gold surface restored, on a gilt Sterling silver neck chain for modern wear. Gift boxed with certificate of authenticity.
