VIKING HAIR RING 850-1050 AD

C1760

Regular price $150.00 Sale

Silvered bronze, just under 7/8” diameter, (0.83”). Circular, the perimeter faceted or scalloped. The inside flat to allow use as a finger ring as well. These were worn in the hair, particularly around the ears. For Vikings, beautiful hair was a sign of wealth and status. There is some indication that they were also worn on the finger, perhaps a regional practice and likely, considering that Vikings occupied thousands of square miles for over 300 years. Professionally refurbished with the silver surface restored.
