The iconic cusped top heart, in idealized form with the trefoil superimposed and nubs at the midpoints. Addorsed scrolls at the bottom duplicate the cusp. Foliate designs were favored by Vikings and incorporated into about half of heart pendants. About 1/2” height plus the suspension loop. The heart stood for bravery, fortitude, loyalty, integrity, all attributes of the Viking warrior. It is abundantly referenced in Viking literature. Professionally refurbished with the 24karat gold overlay restored on a gilt neck chain for contemporary wear. Gift boxed with certificate of authenticity.
