Gilt bronze. As expert navigators, the constellations signified mystery and power to Vikings. Lunar pendants were worn as pectorals as well as suspended from belts, other clothing, and horse harnesses. This example is 1 5/8” high including the loop, with a bulbous top suspending a crescent delineated with delicate wire and enclosing a central projection, commonly seen on Viking lunar pendants. The crescent tips with matching bulbous terminals representing Sol the sun and Mani the moon. Professionally refurbished with the 24-karat gold overlay restored for contemporary wear. On an 18” modern gilt Sterling silver neck chain, gift boxed with a certificate of authenticity.
