VIKING LUNAR PENDANT C.900-1000 AD.
Large, over 1 3/8” width. As expert navigators, the constellations signified mystery and power to Vikings. The Moon was personified as Mani, brother to Sol the Sun, and is abundantly represented in Norse literature. Lunar pendants were worn as pectorals as well as suspended from belts, other clothing and horse harnesses. This example has double banding on each side of the crescent, as very rarely seen. The exact meaning is lost, however, it can be concluded that a specific astrological event is represented. Professionally refurbished with the silver overlay restored, on a modern polished leather neck cord and gift boxed with certificate of authenticity.
