Cambridgeshire, England. Silvered 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 about 1 1/2” width with broad crescent with upturned terminals representing Sol the sun and Mani the moon. Four additional bodies are represented in alignment, probably a reference to a specific astrological event. Fundamental form to invoke supernatural guidance in navigating. Professionally refurbished with the silver overlay restored on a Sterling silver neck chain for contemporary wear. Gift boxed with certificate of authenticity.
