- Lot Description
Northern Europe, Viking or Norse culture, ca. 9th to 11th century CE. A fabulous and wearable Viking bracelet composed of thick wires of high-grade (96%) silver which are compressed together and fused along one side. The thick wires present with a braided style which is wrapped around a central core wire. The fused terminals are decorated with a myriad of hammered frets and triangular motifs which imbue the accessory with a personalized presentation. Size: 3.25" Diameter (8.3 cm); size (wrist opening): 2.7" Diameter (6.9 cm); quality of silver: 96%; total weight: 92.2 grams.
The important Viking metalworking shops correspond to their great trading ports and proto-urban centers - Birka, Helgo, Sigtuna, and Lund in Sweden, Ribe, Haithabu (Hedeby), and Fyrkat in Denmark, and Kaupang and Trondheim in Norway. Silver was the principal currency of the Viking world, which stretched from Russia to northern Canada at the height of their influence. In many places, the Vikings kept silver not as coins, but as jewelry, a wearable currency form that was not subject to the authority of a monarch or mint.
