Sale
Silvered bronze, over 1” (1.08”) width, of broad iconic form. Cusped top heart with hand-engraved border and engraved trefoil to the field, a popular Viking motif. The only example we’ve seen is with the decoration engraved rather than cast. For Vikings, the heart stood for bravery, fortitude, loyalty, integrity, attributes of the warrior. It is abundantly referenced in Viking literature. Professionally refurbished with the silver surface restored, on an 18” Sterling silver neck chain for contemporary wear. Jewelry gift boxed with certificate of authenticity. Charming.
