Viking Shield Pendant

Product Description: This Viking Shield pendant is made from resin that is hand painted. The Shield is supplied on a waxed cord. The pendant is mounted on a fold-over information card that depicts images of a Viking dragon, Odin’s mask and spiral patterns down the sides on the front and describes about how jewellery was important to the Vikings on the reverse.

Information: Both Viking men and women wore jewellery. The function of the richest jewellery was to clearly display wealth and status, as much as for decoration or to fasten clothing.

Viking jewellery developed into intricate and masterful artistry, with a strong preference for silver. The main themes were patterns of nature and animals, mythology, as well as simple geometric patterns.
