VIKING LUNAR PENDANT NECKLACE, 11th CENTURY AD

10th-11th century, silvered bronze, over 1” (1.02”) width. Formed as a broad crescent representing the moon with a medial projection. That feature is often seen but not understood today. It possibly represents the wearer or a third deity. Worn, from the time of its use, perhaps ritually. Professionally refurbished with the silver overlay restored and on an 18” modern Sterling silver neck chain for contemporary wear. Jewelry gift boxed with certificate of authenticity.
