Regular price $230.00 Sale

Just over 1/2” diameter (0.54”). Circular with a pierced circle forming the closed tip crescent. Raised edges and border to the opening. A scrolled terminal triangle above. Now with some wear and surface texture from burial.  As expert navigators, the constellations signified mystery and power to Vikings. The Moon was personified as Mani, brother to Sol the Sun, and is abundantly represented in Norse literature. Lunar pendants were worn as pectorals as well as suspended from belts, other clothing, and horse harnesses. This example is professionally refurbished with the 24karat gold overlay restored, on an 18” modern gilt Sterling silver chain and gift boxed with a certificate of authenticity.
