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 fine Viking woman warrior's bronze bracelet. It is about 5/16" x 7/8". It was hand-decorated by a Viking craftsman, 1000 years ago! The end is defined by a transverse line which is one side of a rectangle divided by a medial and saltire. It has been professionally refurbished with a 24karat gold overlay restored and mounted to an 18” gilt Sterling silver neck chain for modern wear, with certification of authenticity, and jewelry gift boxed.
