Viking Era Bronze, copper alloy Finno-Ugric White Bronze Pendant - 55 mm (No Reserve Price)
Northern Europe / Central Asia, Finno-Ugric culture, ca. 5th to 11th century CE.
A fine white bronze pendant composed of seven cast pieces with three bells, three bell loops, and a semicircular top ornament decorated with dozens of applied segments which radiate outward from a trio of small bulbs.
Pendants like this example were perhaps worn as a pendant or sewn onto clothing to create a bright, glinting effect as well as a jangling nose when jostled.
