Just over 5/8" (0.65”) width. Bronze, cast and chased in detail as the crescent moon with raised edges. The field with angular infill matrix, probably celestial references. The back plain. Vikings relied on the heavens and celestial bodies for guidance when sailing. Surface worn, particularly the right side, evidently from being mounted with another amulet. The 24karat gold overlay restored, for modern wear on an 18” gilt sterling silver neck chain. Jewelry gift boxed with certificate of authenticity.
