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, 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 Viking woman warrior's bronze bracelet. It is about 1 m1/8” x 3/8” and hand engraved 1000 years ago with zig zag and crescent patterns. It is a woman’s bracelet, broken in the funerary process. It is well documented that women fought along side men and women’s burials containing swords, other weapons and armor are documented. The surface is textured from burial. It was handcrafted by a Viking artisan 1000 years ago, worn by a Viking woman warrior, and broken as part of her funerary ritual! It has been professionally refurbished with the silver surface restored and mounted to an 18” Sterling silver neck chain for modern wear. It comes with a certification of authenticity, and a gift box.
