Vikings were highly skilled metallurgists, and as a result, breaking metal had supernatural significance for them. Breaking ringjarn (iron rings) as shown on the Larbro Stone, was thought to destroy the spirits of enemies. Similarly, Viking weapons and accouterments were broken for burial with their owners.
This is the broken end of a fine Viking warrior's bronze bracelet. It is about 1/2” x 3/4”. It was hand-decorated by a Viking craftsman, 1000 years ago! It is line bordered with a diagonal separating hatched amorphous forms. Professionally refurbished with a 24karat gold overlay restored and mounted to an 18” gilt Sterling silver neck chain for modern wear. It comes with a certification of authenticity, and jewelry gift boxed. About as nice as these come!
