10th-11th century AD. 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 in Gotland Sweden, 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, part of his funerary goods. It is about 1” x 1/2” and decorated in high relief two transverse reeded bands flanking a broad raised band. It has been professionally refurbished with a pure silver overlay and mounted to an 18” Sterling silver neck chain for modern wear. It comes with a certification of authenticity and is gift boxed.
